A full page government ad with the tricolour upside down

Daily when I logon to my yahoo mail account the home page has the day’s top news headlines. I just glimpse over them and head over to my inbox, but today one particular news story caught my attention as it was outright sad and funny at the same time ;)

The ad, which is for a government rural welfare scheme which was printed in Kolkata’s english and local news papers, has the colours of the Indian Flag reversed :( saffron at the bottom and green at the top wow. I dont want to frown over the poor DTP designer who might have overlooked this glaring mistake in the fury of proof-reading the name, photo and post of the politicians a thousand times.

It is funny how this thing was overlooked by the newspaper layout guy, editors and such people, a small ad in the corner might not be very noticeable but a full page ad ?? Technically it may not have been meant to portray the Indian Flag, maybe just to display the colours of the congress flag but still its not much different. As of writing this post, this news story tops the list of most emailed ones for the day. For seeing the video of the news report visit the IBN Live page.
