National Archives Fail

Express printed this advertisement for programs at the National Archives in yesterday's edition.



The Jewish Holiday Traditions and Cooking in America program looks interesting, but, oh, I guess I missed it since it took place on March 25th. Seems rather odd to promote an event that took place 6+ weeks ago. Perhaps, this is a preview of a future event and we should mark our 2012 calendars.

So who is responsible for this error (if it is indeed a mistake): The National Archives or Express?

Please note that we've seen these two have issues before.

Ken Burn: Great American Filmmaker

I'm sure that you're familiar with Ken Burns, the Emmy Award-winning director and producer of documentaries including The Civil War and Baseball. As you can see below, the National Archives is showing three parts of The Civil War by another director, Ken Burn. I wonder if they know each other.



This advertisement was published in Wednesday's Express, but I think this error (assuming that there is not a Ken Burn who created a different The Civil War) falls on the National Archives. Express is off the hook...for now!
