Here's a case of terrible timing after Chimp attack on Woman

THE FOLLOWING STORY RAN IN A BLOG CALLED "ADVERTISING IS GOOD" BY PAULA ZARGAJ-REYNOLDS

Ashton-Drake Galleries had the bad luck to offer us a baby monkey doll the same week Travis the chimp went berserk and mauled a woman.

This ad ran in one of the Sunday circulars in last week's Boston Globe.

In the defense of the advertiser, there was really nothing it could do to prevent this ad from appearing in newspapers this weekend.

Sunday circulars are created and printed far in advance. Getting the circular pulled in time would also have required the agreement of all the other advertisers appearing in the same circular.
