Here is yet another brow-furrowing example of quotes as emphasis. Did you know there is an entire “blog” dedicated to exposing quotes abuse?

“Best” BBQ

with 8 comments

I also enjoy how the senior citizen on the right is so very naturally dropping a bomb from the marketing department in the middle of her dinner.
