Masters of the English word

As a non-native speaker of English and former ESL student, I know how difficult it can be to learn the English language. But the copywriters who wrote the 10-words-and-less blurbs on the following products, news clippings and billboard are true masters of the English word. Some of the following may be NSFW.

1. If we could only get the priests some of this holy wood. 

 
"Kid wood: Feel it! No Mess"

2. What kid wouldn't want to attend this summer camp? Best name ever. 

"Camp Ramsbottom"

3. The title on Reddit was, "You'll save a lot more than $600".  How appropriate for a Babies R Us ad.
"Pull out and save up to $600"

4. This is a problem.

"I have riff-raff in my hoo-hoo."

5. SPELLING is not of their concern. It's overrated anyway.

 

6. No amount of washing will ever make you clean again. This isn't so much a mastery of the English as much as mastering the art of an attention grabbing, perplexing product title.


7. In bold caps, all together now, "WOMAN BEATS OFF SHARK"


The End!
