People would therefore immediately pull-up and read the ad as they subconsciously detect that something about the ad is demanding their attention, or "not quite right". The conspiracy continues...


I might go for that...... IF the general population actually noticed the mistakes, lol! Most people accept 'em as correct! Gaaaahhhhh!!
