HUNGER GAMES Teaser Image Accidentally Includes The C-Word
The other day the official Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 Twitter account posted a new teaser pic announcing that the movie is now only 100 days from release, and let's just say the marketing guys probably should have been a bit more careful! See you next Tuesday!...
As you can see, the way a section of the second "0" in 100 is removed to accommodate the "U" in "until" makes it look like this teaser banner is emblazoned with the word... well, it's not exactly subtle so we're sure you can make it out. The Tweet was apparently hastily deleted once this was brought to their attention, but nothing can ever really be erased from the internet (just ask Josh Trank) and this screencap was posted by THR.
Not exactly news, but hey, it's a slow Sunday evening and this gave us a chuckle. Can you think of any similar marketing faux pas that've occured over the years? Be sure to share the evidence in the usual place.
