    MCN screws up with badly placed advert

    Motor Cycle News - never one to think too carefully about things - has come up with a classic this time, according to The Register:

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/08/17/mcn_ad_gaffe/

    Not sure they could have made a worse stab at placing the wrong advert with that article.

    The shame here is that those adverts are generated automatically based on the news item keywords. There's an entire website devoted to just these kinds of occurances.

    I'll try and find the site...

    Hell, if it was me dead, I couldnt think of a better line to have there, 'No-one ever wished they'd stayed in more' with a picture of a bike.
    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    Cool They stuffed up.

    They should have had an advert about the new bullet proof helmets...

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Yes, well, er..., as H-D say, it's the journey, not the destination.
