It’s a flanelette frenzy as the Media Guardian website reports at length on an ASA ruling against the Daily Mail for offering readers pairs of men’s pyjamas (only £19.99) purporting to be “manufactured by a leading British manufacturer, Tootal” when they were in fact made in South Korea.
One small problem. The Guardian’s reader offer site unfortunately carried exactly the same offer with exactly the same wording. Cue some hurried revisionism after punters in the comments section pointed out this faux pas, and the offending words were quickly removed.
Let’s hope whoever was responsible for this misplaced Schadenfreude sleeps easy tonight…
