Nothing says STAY AWAY FOR GOD'S SAKE better than ellipses on movie packaging:

"This movie is ... enjoyable."
- Jethro Cletus, The Muleshoe Bi-Monthly Post

"Unforgettable ... acting that screams ... Oscar ..."
- Mike Jones, The San Francisco Underground Entertainment Review Force

"... AWESOMES!!!"
- Jeff Beetles, www.myspace.com/myawesomemoviereviewsite

Some geniuses a while back were spamming a website called Firefox Myths on various boards, which showed a number of nice examples of this. For example:

"Any browser is more secure [...] than [...] Firefox" - the original quote being "Any browser is more secure without ActiveX than one with it, including Firefox". Or something along those lines.

One thing I've learned reading news stories and quotes: If it has "[...]" in the middle of it, it's probably BS.

Care to enlighten us? (Of course, this is Craziness, so there might be no purpose.)

The smaller toes are just clinched and are pointing downwards.

And why does that foot have toenails on the bottom of the toe?

It's used to skip and omit words.

Instead of
Learn to draw feet.

You can have

How would you have fun with that IDE. Netbeans FTW.

Ellipses, ah yes... something I liked to overuse as a newbie. For people who aren't native speakers of English, Ellipses is pretty much "...".

Yeah, that's what happens when you stay awake for more then 32 hours. Can't spell ellipses or sequal.

...

Wait, what's an elipcie then?

Damn, you're 2 for 2 in misspelling thread titles lately. No wonder BooUrns thought it was supposed to be "eclipses".
