When Birmingham City Council tried to instil pride in recycling efforts, it had the clever idea of sending out 360,000 flyers showing the city skyline.
Unfortunately the leaflets, saying: 'Thank you, Birmingham,' actually had a picture of Birmingham, Alabama, on them.
I see 2 things wrong with this. Firstly 360,000 flyers to thank people for recycling seems like a terrific waste of paper, and secondly getting the wrong city wouldn't fill you with confidence in your own council.

Classic example of the ineptitude present in most city councils.. and I agree with your point that wasting paper as a thankyou for recyling is dumb.
