Stuff like this, always cracks me up. Not only is the board set up incorrectly, with a1 being white, instead of black...but they have black moving, first.

I know it's a tad picky to point this out...but still. Do a little research, before you try to market a chess set. At least set up the board correctly before you take the picture.

Sheesh.

LOL Good stuff. Have a rec for each.

P.S. Marketing people don't play chess. They play golf.

I've got a box from a chess set at home... On the top, it shows the board with a1 as white.... and on the bottom they got the board set up right but the queens and kings are on the wrong colors.

Stupied! If I were taking pictures of fishing poles I sure as heck would ask about it before I did something stupid like fly-fishing at the beach for the packaging.

Or better yet, to have a picture of a guy using his fishing pole except he's holding it the wrong way.

That's about how lame it is, when they set up the board the wrong way.

Tards.

I have seen advertising for a Newton telescope with a picture of a telescope pointing the wrong way - unless you want to use it to watch the grass grow. In fact, I have seen several of those.

Makes sense to me, though. Newton is dead, so you should point the telescope to the ground to be able to spot him. Or does your Faith Whale religion have a heaven too?

We have the Deep Blue Eternal Sea, which is above us. That's why the sky looks blue. The water is hold up by COD's mental powers, but sometimes He is too busy with other things, and some water escapes. That's why we get precipitation down here.

Argh, too late to edit. It should be "held", of course. I was mixing it up with Norwegian. 😞

I talked to their marketing people, they told me its the kids fault, THEY set up the board. Stupid kids, they said.
