Congratulations Miami???

In case you missed it, Macy's ran an ad in the Monday edition of the Miami Herald congratulating the new NBA Champs, the Miami Heat. Wait...that's not right. Didn't the Dallas Mavericks defeat the most hated team in America four games to two. They did! So why did Macy's run the wrong creative in Monday's edition of the Miami Herald, I guess you will have to ask them yourself.

 
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time something like this has happened to Macy's. Back in 2009, Macy's ran an ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer congratulating the Philadelphia Phillies on their back to back World Series Championships (2008 & 2009). There was only one problem with that, the Phillies were not the World Series Champions in 2009, that honor went to the New York Yankees, who defeated them four games to two.

Its pretty shocking that a mistake like this can happen to the same company twice, and within two years of each other.
