H&R Block’s Freudian Slip
The Consumerist has its fair share of typos, but at least we don’t make them in a fixed medium.
Glen sends this scan from a glossy, full-color 8.5×11 ad insert for H&R Block in this past weekend’s Provo Daily Herald newspaper in Utah:
“It’s estimated Americans overpaid their taxes by nearly a billion dollars.* Don’t be one of them. H&R Block will get you the maximum refund you’re entitled to, or your tax preparation is FREE. So every dollar you’ve earned is where it belongs. In our pocket.” (emphasis added).
Guess they need the extra bucks to hire copy editors. — BEN POPKEN
