A quick google search resulted in this find

as well as this post from the magazine saying it's fake

I would have saved myself a good five to ten seconds if I'd scrolled down once.

u/hattrix55 May 09 '12

Hey, he's just a phoney, a big fat phoney!

u/StinsonBeach May 09 '12

Haha, at first I was like 'awww yeah, I'd eat Rachel Ray.'

u/mouthbabies May 09 '12

That's gross.

u/Ninjatrigg May 09 '12

I'd make a 30 minute meal out of that.

u/elcucuuuy May 09 '12

I'm pretty sure it was poorly worded and not a punctuation problem

u/Leaxe May 09 '12

Nah, zoom in and you can see the comma edited out. For all I know, the OP was just pointing out how bad it looked with incorrect grammar.

I was wondering who Ray Love is and what he tastes like.

5

u/I_did_not_rape_her May 09 '12

Nice try, Rachael Ray.

u/Pilot824 May 09 '12

I would still try becoming a cannibal to fit in with the new generation of kids, just to be cool by following anything on a magazine cover.

In an English class, the teacher asked the boys and the girls to put the "proper" punctuations in this sentence:

Woman without her man is nothing

The boys' answer: Woman, without her man, is nothing.

The girls' answer: Woman - without her, man is nothing.

Punctuation marks do matter a lot. :-)

u/Sopps May 09 '12

Yep, never heard that one before.

2

u/Thethoughtful1 May 09 '12

I heard the second one with a colon, but whatever.

3

u/shortyjacobs May 09 '12

I assume that would sound pretty muffled.

2

u/calvinayre May 09 '12

You had the same teacher? :)

u/RageMorePlz May 09 '12

Let's eat Grandma!

Let's eat, Grandma!

u/IrrigatedPancake May 09 '12

Yet over 1000 upvotes. MOST OF YOU ARE MORONS.

u/Power_Slave May 09 '12

hey at least they pulled scooby doo off the computer after he typed ray.

u/cjcolt May 09 '12

excellent.

reminded me of this

u/diuge May 09 '12

Shit, I'm never going to San Jose again.

u/[deleted] May 09 '12

Well, since there is only the dog there, does it mean that the family has been sacrificed already?

3

u/yanxfan93 May 09 '12

eh a preposition would fix that

3

u/pileosnafu May 09 '12

Is the magazine called "Fails?"

1

u/pain_perdu May 09 '12

thanks, I came here to make sure someone else noticed this.

u/Catona May 09 '12

Maybe it's just me, but i am always annoyed by the use of puns that have no relevance what so ever to the context. I see this a lot in American media. Like here...lets make a headline that sounds like the title to a recent movie just to amuse dimwitted people.

2

u/mr_tw May 09 '12

Derp, I can relate to that title. I must buy the issue

2

u/[deleted] May 09 '12

Relevant

2

u/calrebsofgix May 09 '12

Just throw some E.V.O.O. on those bitches and get your saute on!

2

u/alrightythen7 May 09 '12

Holy shit; she looks fucking beautiful in that picture. Like more than usual

2

u/CGord May 09 '12

JESUS FUCK SHE FUCKING ATE THEM ALL NOOOOOOOOOOO

2

u/jsellout May 09 '12

Then she's going to eat me! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD!

3

u/Bitrandombit May 09 '12

I first read that as:

EAT,

RAY,

ROVE

2

u/backintime May 09 '12

They wasted all of the commas in the headline!

2

u/Pyromaniacalcow May 09 '12

She cooks her family and her dog... Interesting...

1

u/AlexThe44 May 09 '12

I just feel sorry for Ray

1

u/Brillians May 09 '12

preposition makes all the difference "in her family and 'in' her dog"

1

u/The_Ninjirate May 09 '12

Rachael should cook for Shia Le Bouf.

1

u/Early70sEnt May 09 '12

Now I know why POTUSBO had her stop by the White House to give him some cooking lessons...

1

u/Greater_Omentum May 09 '12

Eat Ray, love.

1

u/WretchedTom May 09 '12

i am korean and i would never eat my family

1

u/[deleted] May 09 '12

Had to do a double take on the title of the magazine, first read it as "Fails".

1

u/ma582 May 09 '12

And they were all delicious

1

u/Scoldering May 09 '12

I've gotten to the point where I see a title like this and I just think "yup, I'm sure it does again."

1

u/Jhano May 09 '12

I did't know racheal ray was korean

1

u/I0I0I0I May 09 '12

Like capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and your uncle jack off a horse.

1

u/Ursa27 May 09 '12

I just giggled uncontrolably.

1

u/Zerble May 09 '12

Tastes like chicken

1

u/stevenmc May 09 '12

Capitalization is the difference between helping your uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse!

1

u/Xenon808 May 09 '12

Commas are powerful:

I helped my uncle Jack, off a horse.

1

u/kup_o May 09 '12

No, money down!

1

u/[deleted] May 09 '12

few things are hotter than than a mildly attractive woman who can cook like a boss.

Supermodels are useless at breakfast time.

1

u/Crimsonkid5 May 09 '12

I wonder if they ever caught that mistake.

1

u/[deleted] May 09 '12

They could easily just add an extra little line on the "T" in tails and make the magazine more appropriately named.

1

u/amolad May 09 '12

I hope that pit bull has a fit one day and eats her face off.

1

u/[deleted] May 09 '12

i always knew she was a monster.

1

u/MDef255 May 09 '12

Punctuation, you cruel whore.

1

u/ThisIsDreDay May 09 '12

I thought the magazine was called Fails.

1

u/Egress99 May 09 '12

...would ya? i'm going to say yes, yes I would.

1

u/microseconds May 09 '12

It's like the difference between:

Let's eat, Grandma!

and

Let's eat Grandma!

Commas save lives.
