Yeah, I'm with you guys on this. I've been paid to write for niche sites in the past because the hot designers in the industry generally know very little in terms of niche style and verbiage. When is the last time you've heard of a black man refer to his dick as a "great big dong" or a mexican talk about joining a "latino" porn site (should be latinA... important lesson for many... unless it's a gay site).
My biggest problem is with sponsors that go to the trouble of buying niche content, they get a flashy tour designed, and then get some dude in Eastern Europe to fill in the generic text. Their conversions will suck, and in all probablility they'll never update the site/tour again.
That said... you're absolutely right that big sponsors should have at least one person on staff to at least fix typos. I've actually had sponsors tell me that spelling errors and typos make a tour look more amateur produce better conversions.
At least most will let you use your own tour these days.
