All those advertisements and newspaper inserts are so ubiquitous nowadays it's as if they just magically create themselves. Not so. They're laid out by people, and as is widely known, people can screw up in the most spectacular ways:
A holiday shopping flier that's been distributed to thousands of households in north Texas is creating controversy because a message of hate is included within an advertisement.
...
According to ADVO, the company that printed the advertisement, a graphic artist working on the ad had left his desk for a moment, and a co-worker with the initials C.C. changed the text on the ad.
How to completely sink a company in one easy step: Allow a dipwad retard to alter ad copy and never check it before sending it to print.
Given my experience with graphic artists, though, I would suspect that it was actually the artist who decided to take revenge on his co-worker "CC" for some slight (probably for being a neo-con) and decided to put this message on the ad copy. He might even have been able to store it in a second layer, so that it appeared in the editing software as one thing and printed out as another.
