Sorry if this has been posted before, but damn it's really tickled me.
Was flicking on the TV and came across one of those end of year '50 biggest cock ups' or something.
And this has gotta rate. Birmingham Council ( the English one) sent out a load of leaflets thanking their residents for recycling so much. Now, apart from the environmental implications of printing the leaflets lol, there was a little faux pas. The skyline picture on the leaflets was of...Birmingham, Alabama.
To start with they tried to say they had just used a 'generic' picture, but were later forced to admit that, yes, actually they had googled 'Birmingham skyline' and took the picture from that, without checking it was the right one.
I don't know whether to gigle myself silly or *facepalm*
