Is is right, or should in be in instead?

masterbation

So, after a completely gratuitous "dump" scene and masterbation interlude, Harold (John Cho) & Kumar (Kal Penn) are off to the cannabis cafes of Amsterdam - Kumar to forget his lost love and Harold to chase after a model he's newly in love with.
-- Harold and Kumar escape in 24 Hours Vancouver, Friday April 25th 2008

Correction: Masturbation.

Notice the singular a followed by the plural visits. Two possible fixes: Omit the a, or change visits to visit.

thank them the donor

Donor Honored
In 2006, an anonymous donor stepped in and contributed $500,000 to save the historic Joy Kogawa House, at 1450 W. 64th Avenue. Today, the Land Conservancy of B.C. has scheduled an event to publicly thank them the donor.
-- local news IN BRIEF in 24 Hours Vancouver, Friday April 25th 2008

Get rid of either the donor or, preferably, them.

this years' list

"She's young, she's hot, she's a rising star and her sex appeal has definitely transformed this years' list." - FHM editor J.R. Futrell
-- Fox is hot in 24 Hours Vancouver, Friday April 25th 2008

The article itself has it right with this year's list - the above is from the set-apart quoted-text in the centre of the article, which is about Megan Fox being named world's sexiest woman by FHM Online's reader poll.

Loose Weight!

-- Brentwood Town Centre in Burnaby, BC, Canada, on April 25, 2008

After you lose weight, your clothes will be loose. At least one other identical sign is located elsewhere in the mall.

Reid Jewellery // Jewellry

-- Brentwood Town Centre, Friday April 25th 2008

Even though jewellery is perfectly acceptable on its own, Reid Jewelry is spelled incorrectly on the mall's directory because the store spells its name differently. See similar error here. According to this website, jewellry is not right in British, Canadian, or American spelling.

CD's

-- Packaging for a CD Binder by Universal Voyager

I don't get it. The s is already lower case (or at least smaller than the C and D), therefore omitting the apostrophe would correctly leave CDs. I can see how people want to put CD'S instead of CDS, but it's wrong. Same goes for DVDs. Just make the s lower case. Please.

CHURCHE'S CHICKEN

-- Receipt from Church's Chicken, Wednesday April 23rd 2008

The pic is a tad hard to read. Near the bottom is written: CHURCHE'S CHICKEN. The restaurant is called Church's Chicken. Churche's is rarely correct in any circumstance. A correct use: Churche's Mansion.

Oh boy. The above is all on the homepage. First bold: British Columbia. Second bold: omit the comma after here. Third bold: Methinks the wrong N word is capitalised (to continue the previous sentence's strange capitalisation, I guess). Fourth and fifth bold: It's its for both. Use it's when contracting it is or it has, otherwise use its. See here for more on it's and its. What's odd is that on their FAQs page, its is used correctly three times. A different writer/editor, perhaps?

Bott's Dotts // Dr.Elbert Dotts

Road dots: Ever wonder what you call those fluorescent dots down the center of the highway? They're called Bott's Dotts, named after Dr.Elbert Dotts, a chemist with the California Department of Transportation, who invented them.
-- Did You Know... in Coffee News, Friday April 25th 2008

Naming the dots Bott's Dotts when the inventor is named Dotts had me puzzled, so I googled and found out that the above is wrong, wrong wrong. The inventor's name was actually Elbert Botts, and the dots are called Botts' dots. Also, a space is required between Dr. and Elbert.

It begs the question

While the Harold & Kumar flicks are indebted to the zany Bob Hope/Bing Crosby road movies of yore, the time-honoured Odd Couple dynamic is also an essential part of their appeal. It begs the question of whether the onscreen characterizations of uptight Harold and carefree Kumar are at all representative of Cho and Penn in reality. “It’s actually the opposite,” confesses Cho. “On set, I keep relaxed by making jokes. [Penn]’s the guy in the corner preparing because he’s such a good actor. I’m a hack, really. I’m just goofing off. As a result, I needle him even more on set.”
