Default Really think we're dumb

Over the years I've seen lots of mistakes in movies, on TV shows, and commercials. I would think if a company was marketing to a specific target group they would at least get the basics correct.
Yes, I looked past the girl.

No harm in a little photoshopping, especially if it's for a good cause.

I'm not as stupid as they look but someone didn't "proof read" the picture. If they're going to show the bike backwards, then the photoshopped letters should be backwards too.

Didn't notice. Was too much looking at her.

i would have to say the bike is backwards and she is photo shopped onto the bike. she's all the way up the back of that seat, she'd be sliding down it without support and there's no foot peg near her leg position

They are examples of a printed negative, that's all. I see it all the time. I just finished the excellent (and shockingly deep) book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." There were 4 misspellings. I found one in a Dostoevsky book also, either "Crime and Punishment" or "The Brothers Karamazov", I can't recall. Yet, it seems inconceivable.

i don't think that they think we're dumb. i think it's more a case of the person who is supposed to be approving the picture is ignorant.

or it could be a conspiracy. there's someone in the backroom going, 'heh, let's turn this negative upside down and see if anyone notices'.....
