Home Depot Thinks 'Lorem Ipsum' Is Spanish

Consumerist Flickr Pool member brylyn says, “Saw this while shopping for ceiling lights in Home Depot.”

For those of you not familiar with “lorem ipsum,” it’s commonly used placeholder text dating from the 1500’s. The text was created by scrambling words from a passage of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Marcus Tullius Cicero. —MEGHANN MARCO
