Apparently it also made it to their online media centre. It was screaming at me. There are people who are pretty much caused pain by that, and none of them are in the production chain? Seriously?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, that's hilarious.

About how many people does this have to get through to reach its various endpoints?
My experience is that it often goes writer-ad manager-designer-ad manager-production. It should go back to the writer, who is generally the only one who can spell, but it often doesn't.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
We came in fourth. Bah.

There is a large Jillifont over my head. This will be the second one I have killed in two weeks.
Imma go get the hairspray now, mmmk? Or else throw one of the cats on the ceiling...

I'm talking literally, though. It got printed, it got packed, it got hung. With a mistake like that, no one in the chain should have been too small to listen to.
Now, they might have had their own reasons to not say anything, but it went out to various places. It was published on the web, hung in at least one place in meatspace. That's a lot of hands and eyes.

And it's not like it was a complex, rarely used word.
I am more upset about that ad than the rather large, uh, brown-Jillifont-with-hermit-like-tendencies I just murderated.

I think I've found my handyman-husband. Who has a grill on his van made from gear wheels, Top Gear bumper stickers, might be a little punkish, yet listens to NPR while he works. And FIXED MY CEILING & PORCH for under $300. Woohoo! I've recc'd him to a neighbor who needs ceiling work. My hole was $50. Damn.

Speaking of things that get through a lot of people...I just noticed a Verizon ad with an Asian guy with a shopping bag with a blonde blue-eyed doll peeking out of it. Why is the doll peeking out of the bag? I mean, of all the things that could have been in his bag, why is it a doll of the stereotypical American beauty ideal that he's not part of, and his kids probably aren't either? It's...peculiar.
It's a bit more charged for me because I recognise the guy from a short film about fetishising sex partners (he was saying he'd never been with a black woman, and the black woman he gets with has the worst Asian stereotype fetish, involving demeaning costumes and everything). So I already think about him in conjunction with race issues.
It just seems...unnecessary.
But, hey! Race blind casting!
Though it would have rocked if it had been a little brown doll. Just saying. A blonde doll says nothing in the manner that says everything. Everything.
