In a classic marketing blunder, the UK City of Birmingham recently printed 720,000 leaflets with the skyline of the US City of Birmingham skyline urging people to recycle! The full story is covered here Brum Skyline Mix Up
For non UK readers who might be puzzled at the term Brum is coloquiallism Brummagem
What fool cocked that up I wonder, surely not the same fool who expected us believe that the photo was deliberate because they only wanted to show a 'generic' skyline on the leaflet.
If that was the case why not Rome, San Paulo, or Copenhagen surely they would be ORIGHT too
