Q: Okay, but will there be coupons?

A: From the CVS Pharmacy in-store circular:CVS Pharmacy is unhealthily obsessed with coupons
CVS' motto is "Expect something extra." Kudos to their copy editor for living the dream.

Wow, that's bad. It's almost as bad as if a guy wrote an article in, say, a college newspaper, which, because he forgot to remove a placeholder, read "Said Stephenson, 'Blah Blah Blah...'"

That kind of shit's embaressing.

I understand there is such a thing as a mistake, but how can something so obvious...go unnoticed?

Did you write to Bill Simmons at ESPN? I noticed this below

I loved this e-mail from Dean S. in Cleveland: "I don't know how you could say the NBA playoffs would be the same without sideline reporters. For instance, at the beginning of the second quarter of Game 5 of the Cavs-Nets series, TNT's sideline reporter observed that the Cavs had already committed five turnovers. 'At that pace,' she noted, 'they would finish the game with 20.' And you know what? She's right! I checked! Hollinger better watch his back -- this woman is like some kind of human abacus. How could I hope to understand the game without real-time statistical analysis like that? Please apologize."
