More Silliness

Ahh, people’s stupidity continues to bring me joy, or at least a few good laughs.

Honda Ad Campaign Mistakenly Awards Millions

A Honda dealer in Roswell, New Mexico tried an ad campaign involving $50,000 scratch-off tickets. Scratch off the ticket that came in the mail; win $1,000. Imagine the surprise at Roswell Honda when they discovered all 50,000 tickets were winners — and more than half were mailed before the typo was discovered. So that's only a $30 million mistake (Morning Edition, NPR)
