Not making this up
In the "wish I'd had my camera with me" department:

The SF Chronicle is a sponsor at SBC Park (home of the Giants). At one point between innings, the stadium's big video screen flashes some headlines from that day's edition of the newspaper. I was at the Giants-Padres game on Sunday and noticed two particular items on the screen. Paraphrasing slightly:

  • "Diver was 10th great white fatality off California coast" (story about a guy killed by a shark in August near Westport), immediately followed by

  • A teaser for the paper's ongoing "Bargain Bites" restaurant review series.


  • I doubt anyone else noticed, but -- ouch!

    I'm reminded of the time I was driving from LA to San Diego, and I saw the following two billboards juxtaposed on both sides of Interstate 5.

    On the left:
    Tanqueray Gin ad, tagline: "Great with a splash"

    On the right:
    Ford Ranger "Splash model" pick-up truck ad
