    Ad Photo Blunder

    Just read about this on Yahoo News. This is a photo from an Ad by Le Redoute. The Ad is for kids beachwear.

    I don't believe it was a blunder.

    It 's either a spoof or it the advertisers did it deliberately to get us talking about it.
    Spin it anyway you want, but 5 will never be 6 and it will never be 7.

    It's definitely not a spoof, in fact it's made the papers here. The photo itself was never printed and only appeared on their website. It definitely wasn't done to attract attention either - the teeshirts being advertised in the photo are "Kihawo" brand and they're not at all happy about it.

    Nice publicity...
