    I saw an ad with a picture of some Chinese men, and they were all holding chopsticks in their left hands. Everyone in China is taught to hold chopsticks in the right hand.

    Royal Nepal Airlines has apologised to Peru after mistakenly using a photo of the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu to promote tourism in Nepal.

    Peru’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Wednesday the flagship carrier of the Himalayan kingdom, about half way around the world from the Andean country, had put the picture of Peru’s tourism icon, Machu Picchu, on a poster under a slogan “Have you seen Nepal?”

    Peruvian mountaineer Ernesto Malaga, who was visiting India last month, noticed the blunder on a poster hanging on a wall in the airline’s office in New Delhi. Peruvian authorities requested explanations from the airline via the embassy.

    “The airline … offered apologies to Peru for using the picture of the Machu Picchu Sanctuary on a poster to promote their country and assured that the lamentable error has been corrected,” the statement said

    I've seen an ad in a grocery store that said "Honey-Baked Ham.....O.J.'s favorite holiday meal"(pre murder trial, of course), but the picture showed him holding a turkey on a platter. If anyone should know a "pigskin", it should be O.J., no?

    Have you noticed in car ads the license plate numbers are all reversable i.e 111 OUO so they can switch the steering wheel left to right depending on the country the advert is in? Sometimes they miss pieces of writing etc and it comes out backwards on the ad
