We cats really must quibble with one reporter's assertion that this embarrassing "Congratulations, Heat" ad in today's Miami Herald was somehow Macy's fault.
Sorry, Michael Hurley, whoever you are. Yes, Macy's would have bought the ad space well before the end of the NBA playoffs. But since the Heat went into yesterday's game down 3-2, the ad should not have run until Miami had won one more game in addition to last night's. The egg is on the Herald's face. As for Macy's — well, we're sure they're furious.
It's been hard not to notice the serious slippage of editorial standards at the Herald and many other news outlets — both in print and on the web. Now it appears that sloppiness has spread to advertising departments as well. We cats HISS.
