Pete, of Pete’s Peppermint Perfections, had bought, with much ballyhoo, a new digital signboard. He wanted to post up flashing messages that would attract parents willing to spend money into the shop. With Halloween approaching, he typed in a new message. He didn’t apply due care, however, to make sure the entire message was shown and not truncated.
Visitors to Pete’s shop saw, in bright flashing letters, “I eat my kids”. After flashing five times, the other part of the sentence would flash “‘candy”.
Pete made the front page of the local newspaper, but not for the reason he wanted.
