But wait, there’s more. In the final scene of Dance of the Vampires (the one with the garlic lyric), when vampires have taken over Times Square, there’s a huge sign on the backdrop of the set proclaiming that the musical Bats is “now in it’s [sic] 39th smash year.”

“It’s.”

Jesus H. Fucking Christ on a sidecar, they spent millions of dollars on this show and they can’t even distinguish between a possessive pronoun and a contraction?

And the horrifying thing is, this wasn’t even the worst thing about the show.

Those of you who are regular readers of my blog will understand how much I am saying by that.

    I realize this post is three years old and you’ll never read this comment, but I just so had to state the obvious: YOU ARE SO RIGHT. What does it take to distinguish between a possessive pronoun and a contraction? What happened to the world? Why are “its” and “it’s” abused so horrifically?
