A Costly Advertising Mistake That Made Me Laugh Out Loud

I could not believe this when I saw it. And as much as I try to avoid politics here, this one is just too good. There's a very important race taking place in Maine over the future of a Republican named Susan Collins. Some pundits predict her re-election (or not) could change the future for the White House in next month's mid-terms. 

So what did the folks on her team do? They spent $25,000 putting up digital ads for her in Portland. Except it was Portland, Oregon, not Portland, Maine, where she's actually running. Which means a state where no one can vote for her saw a message telling them to vote for her. 

And you wonder why the country is in trouble...

Even his biggest fans on this board will never forget when Justin Trudeau twice - not once but twice - referred to Canada - China relations while standing along side Japanese Prime Minister Abe

What a maroon

At least one of us doesn't remember that at all.  Thanks for the reminder.  But perhaps there was a context.
