Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

28 Apr 05, 12:00 AM - Sculpture slip-up

Posted by Crippled Monkey

The architects responsible for the fairly disastrous Diana Memorial Fountain have another problem on their hands, and this time it's disability-related. They recently designed a £10,000 sculpture for Camden Council, featuring a quote from William Shakespeare's As You Like it written in Braille. Except that any Braille user who examines the text will be able to tell you that the quote has instead been attributed to "Willim Shakespeare". Oops. [Story via The Observer]
