Funny pictures show why shops really should be careful where they stick price tags

MISREADING a title can have unfortunate effects — and it's hard to avoid it when a crucial part is covered up.

A hilarious online gallery highlights the dangers when not enough care is taken over where to put the price stickers on books and DVDs.

A serious text book on web analytics appears to take on a whole new meaning thanks to a thoughtlessly placed sticker on the spine.

Other titles say the opposite of what they mean because the word "not" is obscured by a label.

Even innocent kids' books and toys are not immune, as a game of Flickers flying discs and a story about a hungry caveboy are rendered much more adult in tone.

You Can't Make This Stuff Up, as the cover of one book nearly says...

Back to school

Up the geek without a paddle

In a spin

Real caveman

Best smeller

Working girl

Bottom shelf

Didn't see that coming

What a cock-up

Not so lucky
