Notice how noticeably bad this is

August 17, 2012 — Laura

I couldn’t help but notice how noticeably bad this was on the Yahoo! front page:

If it weren’t noticeably bad, I wouldn’t have noticed that the writer got the name of the TV show wrong. It’s “Snooki and JWoww.” But I guess anything that is noticeable is bound to be noticed.
