Controlled Error

| by Raul Pop | April 19, 2007
Have you ever had a new hair cut that no one seemed to notice? Or maybe a new outfit, which people could swear you’ve had on you before? That just makes you feel no one’s paying attention to you, doesn’t it? So why bother with attention to detail anymore? Or better yet, why not experiment on how little others do really notice about you?

If you want a laugh with your friends, the easiest way to do that is to get a free misprinted promotional shirt and see which ones of them will notice the flaw. Yes, you’ve heard me right. Shirts that are misprinted are actually handed out. This is not the same as the typical “$1 Bible” though, where you read “the good word of Gob”. The flaws on these shirts are mostly the position or the sizing of the imprint and rarely the imprint itself.

This is why most misprints are very subtle and hard to spot if you’re not aware you’re supposed to be looking for something. Most people will only get a weird feeling that there’s something strange about the shirt, yet they won’t be able to put their finger on it. The human mind is truly a mystery, isn’t it? Being able to spot the slightest mistake, yet not letting the information seep out of the subconscious surely does seem odd, but nonetheless it does have its advantages. So why not have a few laughs today? Order a misprinted shirt from http://petrix.com/shirt today, free for US and Canada residents only, and watch the baffled expressions of your friends as they try to form their observation into words.
