Yo, Philly in the News

Proofreading Philly tries to capture typos, wordos, and all other kinds of grammatical mistakes that we see around the city. But we need your help! Email photos to us from your computer or your phone, and show the city that you care about good grammar.
We here at Proofreading Philly would like to humbly suggest a new musical for The Barnstormers' upcoming season. We've written it ourselves. It's inspired by the work of Charles Schultz. It's called: It's the Wrong "Your," Charlie Brown. We think they'll really like it.
(In all fairness to The Barnstormers, they've got the name spelled right on their homepage, despite having it wrong twice on the show page.)

Its hard to remember when to use your and you're.
Its a real bugbear for learners of English
Put in it's proper perspective, its an element usually forgotten during grammer lessons and spelling drills.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the artistic directors of The Barnstormers are native English speakers who just type too fast.
Please tell me that the errors you used subsequently were to help prove your point.
@ David Toronto:
You're = you are
your = ownership
You are a good man, Charlie Brown.
You own a good man, Charlie Brown. That makes no sense in the context of laughable Charlie Brown.
