The thread title is currently painted in giant letters on a billboard on I-35E north in St. Paul, just before the downtown exits. I don’t want to profile Christians, but come on. Not one person involved was able to spot this?
Maybe they were confusing him with Andy Devine? 
Amusing, but judging by the frequency of illiterate misspelt titles in New Posts here, I’m not sure this is the best board on which to point this out.
Aside from misspelling, isn’t that the Gnostic heresy?
Soon we’ll have people from the Arian Nations showing up and then what will we do?!
But if you use the correct spelling, it spoils the anagrammed warning:
A Smut Movie Ends Jeans
Sure it’s not an ad for a gardener? De-vines your trees, de-thatches your lawn?
I Googled the phrase with that spelling to see if it was some kind of pun or something, and nothing came up. Now the number one hit is this very thread. I think it’s just a legitimate misspelling, which is astonishing, since you’d think at least the commissioned painter would know the difference.
Ha! I’ve seen that sign. Boyfriend and I were driving down 35E and we saw it and went “…the fuck?” He actually didn’t realize it was misspelled at first until I pointed it out to him.
Well, he might just not care as long as he’s guaranteed to get paid. Or he tried pointing out spelling errors to a previous client and got yelled at. Or the people who hired him were obnoxious enough that he refrained from mentioning it as payback.
All good possibilities. I wonder how long the sign will remain up before anyone corrects it (possibly never)?
They de-veined Jesus? I thought he was crucified.
“Pluck your magic twanger, Peter!”
In a nearby town last year, I saw a green DOT sign that indicated the way to “Colubmia.” When I passed thru a month later, they had replaced it.
A year or so ago in Charlotte, one of the signs read “Indepednence Blvd.” This is a big, big highway in Charlotte, so the misspelling got a lot of attention.
And for years, at a local animal shelter, there was a sign pointing the direction to the “Spray/Neuter Clinic.”
Maybe the leaders of this congregation do not have English as their first language, or even the western alphabet as their first script. Certainly, someone should have caught it, but think of the spelling errors that one sees in menus at some ethnic restaurants.
I wonder the same thing about this shop on the north side of Chicago called “Sexy Girls of the Hollywood”. I imagine conversations between the sign/awning guy and the non-english speaking owner;
“OK, but you don’t need the ‘of’ in this, you sure you…”
‘YES! PUT ON SIGN!’
“Seriously though, I mean, Sexy Hollywood Girls would be…”
‘NO! SEXY GIRLS OF THE HOLLYWOOD! PUT ON SIGN NOW!’
“You’re sure”
‘YES! PUT ON SIGN!’
“It’s yer money pal”
Really, it’s a circus in my head.
To err is human, to Webster is divine.
Reminds me of an old kids’ church song:
*
He is devine and we are de branches
His banner of over e is love*
I’d pay good money to see Andy and Mr. Froggy do the Bible.
(And I’m glad we have so many Andy’s Gang fans here. Jeff Greenfield once wrote a column saying that show was responsible for the '60s. )
Jesus Devine… didn’t he pitch for the Braves a couple of years back?
