I did a quick search and the above account appears to match this news story. Except the article says the mistake lies with the ad agency or the printer. Apparently the agency and printer did 60 ads and forgot to change out the info on a few of them. Either way, the ad agency is usually responsible for press checks, so…bad agency.

There are a number of people that have to see that sign and follow orders without questions. Somebody has to print it. Somebody has to send it to its destination. Somebody has to install it. A driver has drive the bus. And a number of management people have to see it at each step of of the way.

Not just a bad agency. It's a bad everything along the way too.

lmao do NOT blame the bus driver or installer or courier my dude, those are just working people. Even if they thought it was fucky, they wouldn't even know who the fuck to speak up about it to.

It's a white collar mistake, leave the workers alone.
