Huntley & Palmer, which created Ginger Nuts, failed to spot the "extras" in its genteel garden party design, says The Sun. Tens of thousands were sold before a grocer noticed a couple romping in the bushes, two dogs locked together and a jam jar with the word s**t on it. Once they'd been alerted, the company replaced the lids but they became the ultimate prize among collectors of Huntley & Palmer's whimsical tins.

One of the tins is set to fetch £250 next week when it's auctioned in Somerset. Auctioneer Richard Gold said: "I can't say I've made a habit of selling top-shelf tins."

Staff collected over 600 badly damaged books. The torn and slashed books were deemed beyond repair and withdrawn from the Library’s collection. The offender was eventually caught and charged with a hate crime.

This one you might not like to read, involving as it does a couple of animals being killed.

Both Ford and Ogilvy & Mather - which handles the car maker's £27 million account - have branded the leaking of the ad "totally unacceptable and reprehensible" ... It was, they say, intended as a "viral marketing" tactic - designed to be sent via the internet from one individual to another - although this idea was subsequently rejected by Ford ...
