BREMBRO brakes? Nice job, DFW Acura...

Not sure how many DFW residents there are here, but I just saw a TV commercial from DFW Acura, featuring the new Acura TL type-S. What caught my attention was that they misspelled "Brembo" in HUGE CAPITAL LETTERS, and to top it all off, the voice over actually said "Brembro brakes"... I had to pause my TiVo and rewind it to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me! Now there's a way to grab the attention of auto enthusiasts...

Did anyone else happen to catch this?

Since I work in TV and see a lot of commercial spots come in, it is amazing how many mistakes the advertising agency, or production company makes on spots. Some you can understand, but some are just too funny

Let's call them up and ask about these new fangled brakes. Better yet, a call to Acura corporate will have them in a uproar.
