Timex's Journal: Catalog screw-ups

I saw this picture in a mail-order catalog we got recently.

I thought it rather pathetic, that a company would work to put out an advert for an educational tool, yet they could not be bothered to pay attention to details. Not only is the girl not pointing to Massachusetts (she's not pointing anywhere near the area!), but the typographers mis-spelled "Massachusetts"!

Needless to say, I won't be buying my educational tools from this company any time soon... (Their name is omitted for obvious reasons.)

I believe ...

I believe ... Americans don't have enough maps ... like Iraq and Africa ... for educating ... mumble mumble ... and the children.

THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

Next you'll be criticizing people for mis-spelling Banananana :-)

...or criticizing someone for Bananarama [wikipedia.org]...

Nah. I actually liked them...

Is anyone else as amused as I am that the girl is pressing the buttons on the "edu-tainment" toy with her middle finger?

Thats ok; this toy probably has so much lead paint in it your kid's brain is doomed anyway.
