It's not even as if A and O are next to each other???

Took me a while to spot it. Hahaha.

It's not really a gaffe (a joke that backfires) though is it? More of a spoonerism.

Bahahaha! What a tool.

#edmillibandgameshows is genuinely laugh-out-loud funny

Maybe he was taken out of context, and was merely talking about 19th Century western Colonialism?

If you're going to be pedantic, it's not spoonerism either. Spoonerism is like 'fannon codder' or 'hypodemic nurdle'. This was just a typo. An unfortunately timed and funny typo, given the whole Abott situation.

Nitefly · 6 Jan 2012 at 16:06

I can't see how anybody thinks this is anything other than a typo :confused:

Just look at how close the A and O keys are.

You not been paying attention to the weeks of racial tension being blown all out of proportion by the media?

iphone autocorrect strikes again?

If so, he has obviously written it before

Ed Miliband could start an international incident if he starts tweeting about visiting Niagara Falls.

People in "power" should never use Twitter.
