Alberta not the only PR screw-up

Posted by Lindsey Wallis in The Intern-net

Do you remember the big hullaballoo a few months ago when the government of Alberta used a picture of an English beach in a marketing campaign? Well, in true "aren't we all human" fashion it feels good to know we aren't the only ones who screw up our PR.

Recently a candidate for governor in Colorado accidentally used a photo of the Canadian Rockies in an ad about Colorado. The picture was displayed with "What do you want for the future of Colorado?" Apparently the answer is, "To be like Canada." Well, there are worse things to aspire to. See the original image.

One question remains though. Does anyone really care if this guy's designer chose the wrong stock photograph?
