Oh dear. This is unfortunate. A billboard owner in southern India is enjoying the fruits of a marketing meltdown after signage dedicated to the memory of Nelson Mandela featured Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King Jr, and… Yep, Morgan Freeman.

This, from ABC:

“We should be proud that we were part of an era when they lived,” the Tamil-language condolence message read.

Cloth merchant Chandrashekhar, who paid for the board in a private capacity as a mark of respect to the former South African leader, said it was a mistake by the designer.

“We will replace it with the correct picture of Mandela,” he said, adding he did not know how the gaffe happened.

To avoid having a meltdown of your own, make sure the small things take care of themselves. Buy ink before you need it – instead of in the middle of that rush print job.
