Have you heard the news? Mitt Romney wants to be the President of the United States of "Amercia."
The Republican candidate's campaign yesterday launched a free iPhone app called "With Mitt," allowing people to snap photos and then superimpose one of 14 messages atop them for posting on social networks or e-mailing to friends.
There's just one problem: one of the messages that can be superimposed onto a photo promotes "A Better Amercia," rather than America.
As one might expect, the Twittersphere exploded last night with news of Romney's app mistake. As of this writing, "Amercia" is still a trending topic in the U.S., giving the Romney campaign some attention, but probably not the type it's after.




Apparently his campaign either outsourced the proof-reading job, or they fired their proof-readers.

It's already becoming an internet meme...
