We’ve all had those moments where autocorrect has gotten the best of us. We’ve also written papers that make us wonder what we were sipping on while we wrote them. But what if these mistakes were printed? Inspired by the recent snafu that happened on the cover of the University of Texas’ commencement programs (shown above), we sought out 15 more misprints that really made us say, “Oh, no they didn’t.”

Check them out below!

Do you often wake up to find that pesky cats have pissed on your car? No? Me either. But apparently, for a man named Craig Turner, this was a serious problem. He made a YouTube video with very detailed instructions on how to prevent cats from pissing on your car. It involves car batteries, “a mess of wires,” and an HD camera, to name just a few components. Really.

The strangest thing about this video is that I can’t really tell whether he’s joking or not. I mean, the whole thing seems like it has to be a joke. But there are moments when this guy looks deadly serious. I spotted a ring on his left ring finger during the video. So it looks like this guy is married. To his lucky lady, well – congratulations? Your husband will make sure you never have to drive in a car that has been peed on?

Do you like to travel? Are your globe-trotting dreams being stunted by your college student’s budget? Some genius somewhere just invented the perfect site for you. It’s called Miss Travel, where “beautiful people travel free.” Yup, it’s basically a sugar daddy site, but specifically for people who want “travel companions.” Uh huh. Companions.

Sugar daddy/sugar baby sites like Seeking Arrangement have been in the news a lot lately. Sure, there have always been younger women who hook up with older men for money, but thanks to the Internet, now they can find creepers from the comfort of their homes. Great! Lots of college girls have turned to sugar daddies to pay for tuition and living expenses. I guess if there’s a girl who enters into an arrangement like that voluntarily, there’s nothing wrong with that. But it makes me sad that women have to turn to things like this to get the help they need.

Interested in getting an older, wealthier man to pay for your world travels. Here’s how Miss Travel works:

If you are a beautiful person who wants to travel for free, just signup as a “Attractive Traveler”. Attractive Travelers are adventurous and open minded people who love to travel, but lacks the budget to do so. As such, you are looking to meet Generous members who are willing to pay for you to travel, or gift you frequent flyer miles which may be redeemed for free flights on all major airlines. Remember, as a Attractive Traveler, you get to use our website 100% Free.

Thanks, but no thanks. My plane tickets to and from school are awfully pricey, but I think I’ll hang onto my dignity.

This video is titled “World’s Most Beautiful Marriage Proposal” on YouTube. Um, excuse me. I beg to differ. This is the most absolutely terrifying marriage proposal I’ve ever seen.

The video is from a Fox show called Mobbed. Basically, they plan huge flash mobs. I thought this video might be really cute, because there are some adorable marriage proposal flash mobs on YouTube. But it’s awful!

At the start of the video, the woman and her boyfriend are sitting at dinner. In order to give him an excuse to leave the table to set up for the flash mob, they make the poor girl think he’s cheating on her. An actress comes up to the table, says “You should have told me about her!” and pours a glass of water on him. So now the girl is crying, and thinks her boyfriend is cheating on her. And then everybody in the restaurant starts singing and dancing.

They take her outside, where there are tons of people dancing, singing, and chanting her name. The man proposes, and (luckily for him) she says yes. So now her emotional rollercoaster of a night must be over, right? Wrong. She’s informed that she’s getting married right then. They put an ugly dress on her, right on top of her clothes. Then her family and friends appear, and she gets married. Minutes after being made to think that her boyfriend is cheating on her.

Note to anyone who may consider proposing to at any point in the future: this is NOT the way to do it. Check out the video above!

Singing. Some of us are born with this natural talent, while some of us…lack the ability. If you fall into the second category, it is important to acknowledge the fact that you will never, ever be Beyonce. I’m sorry but it is true. Despite the number of times my grandma has told me I have a good voice, I only sing out loud when I’m driving because I’m scared that I’ll be one of “those” people.  You know, those people that think they’re really good singers when they absolutely suck?

Here are few examples of truly horrible (yet amazing) karaoke fails for your procrastinatory pleasure:

I get it, Kate Upton is hot. But hotness has its limits, and Kate is getting dangerously close to weird in the video she released for Easter. At first, I assumed the video was a commercial for something. And it is “presented” by Love magazine, so I guess it’s a promo of sorts for them. But it just keeps going and going. There’s no product here, only Kate Upton dancing around dressed as an Easter bunny. A very adult Easter bunny, of course.

This was the first time it really sunk in for me that Kate Upton is younger than I am. Not by that much, and she is over 18. But still, it made me feel weird to watch her dancing around in a barely-there bunny costume. Especially because Easter is a holiday that I associate so much with being a little kid. I don’t really do anything to celebrate Easter now, but when I was little, I loved it. I used to decorate eggs, get Easter baskets (candy!), and go on Easter egg hunts. So watching Kate Upton – and her very prominently displayed boobs – writhe around in Easter grass and decorate eggs really, really creeped me out.

This video is one minute and fifteen seconds of WTF. Kate is constantly rubbing and adjusting her boobs, like we need to be reminded that they’re there. But then she giggles like a little girl while decorating eggs. And rolls around in some Easter grass. Kate, that belongs in a five-year-old’s Easter basket, not your crotch.

Kate looks gorgeous in the video. But a young, beautiful woman doing Easter crafts in lingerie? It’s just too creepy for me.

Check out our gallery of the 9 most WTF moments from the video, and see all of “Peter Cottontail” here.

Have you ever wished you could look like a Barbie doll? I used to love playing with them when I was little, but I never actually wanted to be a Barbie. This girl apparently does – she loves Barbie so much that she decided to try and look just like her. Every day, she cakes on layers of makeup in order to make her face look just like the doll.

The resemblance is definitely impressive. But it’s just weird for me to look at a real-life person made up to look like a Barbie. Also, looking at her photos, I keep wondering – how old is she? She looks really young to me, but maybe it’s just the makeup.

What do guys think? Is this cool, or creepy?

Most of the time, our WTF Friday posts have me laughing. But this week, this photo just has me saying ick. Ick ick ick. Take a look at this page from Maxim. They printed it back in 2003, but it’s still circulating the internet. In the story, Maxim tells their readers how to “cure a feminist.” Complete with photos of what they think a “militant, protesting vegan” and an “actual girl” look like. Eew, just eew. Why am I a “militant, protesting” feminist? Because of sh*t like this.

Can you believe Maxim actually ran this in their magazine? Am I the only one who thinks this isn’t a very funny joke…if it’s even a joke at all?

Oh, the things we find on the internet. Earlier today, while we were exploring the wonderful world of Pinterest, we came across the Blandito. What is a Blandito, you ask? We’re wondering the same thing.

The Italian company that makes Blandito says:

For every time you need a break, a snooze, a little bit of sweet idleness, blandito® fits your body, wraps it, hugs it. With no hard structure inside, it is soft and malleable, its covering is completely removable and machine washable.

So basically, it’s a big, soft, hot dog/burrito/taco shell that you can change the shape of, sleep in, and awkwardly spoon in. It looked strange to me at first, but I have to admit, now I kind of want one. Check out our gallery of Blandito pictures and judge for yourself.

Fact: lots of men really enjoy watching women roll around and wrestle each other in messy substances. I’d heard of mud wrestling and jello wrestling. But today, I discovered something entirely new. Coleslaw wrestling.

Yes, coleslaw wrestling is real and apparently it’s a tradition in Daytona Beach. Scantily clad women get up on a stage and writhe around in…coleslaw. They use a wood chipper to chop up all the cabbage, and coat it in oil. I don’t understand how anything about this could possibly be sexy, but it seems very popular. Take a look at the video and help me out – is there something I’m missing? Are there people out there who get turned on by cabbage?
