Vote McDowel not McDowell

Last Sunday, the 1st of April i.e. April Fools Day I read a story in the Sunday Independent telling readers that the Progressive Democrats had put up a billboard poster outside a train station in Dublin that misspelled Michael McDowells name using one ‘l’ instead of two, so it said “Michael McDowel”. Being April Fools day I assumed this was just the Independents lame attempt at a joke including a photoshopped picture. Turns out it wasn’t a joke at all. I was walking through Rathmines last night and what should I see but a “Michael McDowel” poster. Woops. :-)

Has anyone seen other posters with mistakes on them? I’m not talking about the one where Mary Harney claims that the Health System is great :-)

    Apparently, they’ve done the same with “Liz o’Donnel” (sic)

    It just occurred to me that it’s deliberate. They’re not throwing it all away, just the “L”. If it took me that long to get it, and I was paying attention, then it’s stupid.

    They needed the other ‘L’ to stick on his back. PDs can go to L.
