Does Anyone See A Problem?

Love Percy Jackson. Love that they made a movie of the book (even though they changed lots of stuff...whatev). Love the whole thing. Just want to say that first.

<--This is a poster that being sold by the American Library Association. But there is a problem with this poster. Percy is dyslexic (this has to do with his demi-god status because his mind was designed to read only ancient Greek. Isn't that cool!? What if you were designed to read some language!? Just really great!). So Percy is a great hero but he isn't a reader in the normal sense because what he can read is ancient Greek and there aren't too many books published in ancient Greek.

Do you see the problem? Yeah. The sign should say, "The Greatest Heroes are Great Reads."

Oh well. The advertising folk tried to be cool. What more can they do? I don't know, maybe read the book?
