Yesterday one of our DU members stated, as a former radio business person, how ads are under a very watchful eye of companies and that it is not possible to "mistakenly" spend money on an ad.
I also know this to be true.
Any business that tells you ads are placed by mistake is insulting your intelligence and should get NO kudos for saying they are pulling the ads, because they cannot be trusted to tell you the truth.
