By the agencies? No, our "betters" feel no need to apologize, ever.
The company did, and further identified agency requests as the genesis of the idea in the first place.
See, for example, post #88.

Good thing tattoos are growing in popularity...
Old Sarge, you are indeed an old guy like me, in that you still expect the art of proofreading to be applied today. My wife and I roll our eyes several times a day at glaring mispellings and typos both on the internet and in printed material. We see them in veterans’ group newsletters, magazines, and company websites. Kids today just don’t learn how to spell, or care, and nobody checks. It’s amazing. We even have seen them on brochures and websites from “brand name” universities trying to recruit our high school senior daughter! So no, they don’t surprise me one bit. Nobody cares. Nobody checks. Nobody gives a damn...but us old relics of a bygone day.
If they wanted more realistic targets, they would create them depicting women in aprons clutching a toddler slumped on the floor in their kitchen with a look of terror on her face.
“Already scrubbed, now the hyperventilating boot lickers who saw it yesterday can deny it ever existed.”
I already grabbed it and emailed it to a few people. It didn’t go anywhere.
This is a video I helped to make, it has had 11,000 views in 2 days.
"one officer explaining that he enlarged photos of his own kids to use as targets so that he would not be caught off guard...."
Note to mom... Hide the kids, get a restraining order, be armed yourself for when the day comes....
Who wouldn't pick up a gun if they had one handy, in the last second of their life?
"Whoops, sorry, somebody entered the wrong digit into our GPS."
Big time.
Or imagine the DHS dad who volunteered his own son for the “toddler in the park” target.
Sick, sick stuff.
It’s always fun and games to be the tough guy in a one-way shooting gallery, but they are seriously outgunned if it ever becomes two-way.
Yeah, Boss, you and I are of that same breed. I don’t tolerate it in my own writing, and check myself constantly. Part of the problem is, MS Word has made too many lazy people. Autocorrect is NOT your friend.
I’m not nearly as published as YOU are, but we both take pride in our works. Our writing is a reflection of ourselves.
But then, sometimes insisting on propur speling and gramer is a loosing battle...
In the first edition of EFAD, somehow I autocorrected airplane hangars to hangers, in about ten place at once.
Spellcheck was very content, and I missed it. OOOPS!
Look at what ONE deranged shooter did to LE in California for a week. Dorner had them on unsustainable 12/12 shifts until they were worn out in nothing flat.
Yes, which is why the use of "law enforcement" armed drones on U.S. soil will occur with regularity in the very near future.
My spellcheck has actually done eroticism on occasion.
Shows you where ITS mind goes...
Indeed they will. And also put up aerostat balloons with “Gorgon Stare” hyper-cameras over each city.
Maybe someone should market targets with certain politicians’ pictures on them. I mean, turnaround’s fair play. First amendment and all that.
The funniest autocorrect situation I have heard of was a British paper that deemed “queen” an offensive slur against gays, so in an article in repeatedly wrote, “the Homosexual of England.”
