You’d think if you were getting something tattooed to your body you’d want to have it spell checked and not forget Spider-Man’s hyphen.

Web Shooter Tattoo

Putting the hyphen in the url really does work. This just shows that these guys are the real deal.
@ #2 I fully agree – then they get cheesed off at
you when you point it out!!
@ #11 I’m afraid to!
Herbie,
Put a hyphen in http://www.spider-mancrawlspace.com see where it takes you.
If the fan doesn’t care then I don’t think its a fail. If the fan is okay with Spider-Man without the hyphen then I don’t think its a fail. That tattoo is for person getting the tattoo not anyone else.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but after all – the URL for this page
is spiderman…etc…. 😉
I don’t get why it’s racist either. He was making a point about misspelling people’s names.
Sorry if I offended you. It wasn’t meant to be racist (and to be honest, I don’t get why it is). I could have used any other name instead: George Cloony without an e, Angela Merkle instead of Merkel, J.R.R. Tolkein instead of Tolkien. There it suddenly matters to people, but with a fictional superhero …
That was pretty racist, dude. Especially considering you’re talking about our sitting president. Are there mods here???
Some people skip the hyphen because they are lazy, but I find it immensely important because it immediately distinguishes him from Superman, the other superhero EVERYONE knows. I’ve written to newspapers and complained on blogs. I usually get a shrug in response. “Why does it matter?” they ask. For some reason though, they’d be the first to point out that Barack Obahma isn’t spelled with an h.
Oh-my oh-my….that-is so-sad! 🙁
And some folks think I’m too uptight for hating tattoos.
@parabolee: There will be a more painful reaction if the fan decided the fix needed the capital ‘M’.
Far too many “fans” don’t get his name right. I never take them seriously when they can’t even get a name right.
J-R!
Ooops!
Luckily this is an easy fix. The way the font is, you could squeeze a hyphen in there.
