I phoned a couple folks at Redwood coupla' hours ago to point out the same thing to them and suggested that it didn't do the credibility of the ad any good to have such an obvious error not only in the ad, but in a conspicuous area of the ad, hilighted in a sense as it appears alongside a picture of the refinery.

Their level of concern about this will probably be reflected by the speed with which they address or fail to address the correction.
