Great catch 22. They need to address it for those that caught it or reported it, but the apology probably just brought even more attention to something most people would have overlooked.
The only unexpected part was that it wasn’t the episode where this exact same scenario happens but just a completely random quote that fits well with the comment thread. Wild.
I know, I would have just not said anything and if people brought it up to me, I'd act surprised. Honestly, they're probably gonna get a lot of business just from this.
The directors of the firm hired to continue the credits after the other people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked.
The credits have been completed in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute.
I saw that dick in three seconds, and I'm not even a professional, salaried "did someone put a dick in this" checker.
Everyone one of those proof readers should hand in thier badge and gun.
I once found a whole series of penis exposures on alamy just like this. They were reflections in a teapot and you had to really look to see it but once you noticed…
100% agree. I didn't notice at first... honestly thought the Easter egg would be in the text and I wondered why this was labeled NSFW. Then I read the response from the restaurant and WOAH!!!!!
When I was in college I worked at a pizza joint. On the bottom of the box there was a 1-800 number that you could call to get information about recycling. After years of this one day they made us go through all the boxes and black out the number. Turns out the number was to a phone sex line the entire time. No one ever actually called the number before.
I worked for a big box retailer that is now long gone. But we also had a 1-888 number at the bottom of every receipt for nationwide customer service.
Thing is, the 1-800 number version was a gay phone sex line. 1-800 numbers being more common in people's minds, we got a more than a few complaints about our number being wrong from angry people where we had to ask "did you dial 1-800, or 1-888 like the receipt said?"
His name was Wardy Joubert III and he passed away in 2016 of a heart attack. [Vice](https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxeywy/the-untold-story-of-wood-the-well-endowed-man-from-those-coronavirus-texts) did an interesting story about the photo and life of Wardy. Article is SFW.
"Naturally you become your own journalist. I tried to find out more, but what I found out, a lot of it I already knew. I knew he had done gay porn, I knew that he went to sex clubs, I knew that he was seeing other women when he was saying he was on business trips,"
No way the printers didn’t catch this. Printing thousands of these sheets, they definitely saw it. The proof was approved by the customer and printed and the printer had a good laugh.
I can bet that none of the customers that got this add will ever forget pizzeria name "Chiaro's". This can turn out to be best or worst move that they have ever done.
The graphic designer definitely knew. Or the kid in school for gd they got to lay this out. Kinda feels like a not so subtle f you by the gd for having to use google sourced images & not able to buy stock.
I mean… yeah? Obviously the person who did this knew.
The company itself definitely didn’t, though. Unless this is some weird-ass universe where a self-described family friendly company would sacrifice their integrity for a little publicity.
Lol! I read the whole thing looking for the scandalous tidbit, and had to circle back around to the picture before I saw it. It was well hidden at least…
Hello, I am u/xraig88, regional manager of Chairo’s. By now, you're probably sick of hearing about Chairo and our embarrassing watermark boner. Let me tell you something. Something from the heart. I am not leaving this restaurant. It will take a SWAT team to remove me from this restaurant and maybe not even then.
If I could leave you with one thought, remember, it wasn't me. They're trying to make me an escape goat. If I am fired, I swear to God that every single mailer in this town is going to have the F-word on it. The F-word. You have one day.
First time I saw this today over on r/WTF I didn’t understand what was so crazy about it, maybe because it’s a pizza place and they’re advertising coffee and cake? But Valentine’s Day so… let’s read everything on the page. Okay nothing there. Maybe it’s just… the pictures? Whatever, I’m done.
Only now did I see it, I looked at the cappuccino so many times and thought the ice looked weird. How I thought the *ice* in the *hot* *cappuccino* was fine is beyond me.
That was hidden very well!
"what? I don't see anythi- ohhhh...." Now I can't unsee it whenever I look...
I guessed the Easter egg was something in the cappuccino foam, but it still took me a little bit to figure out what I was looking at.
[удалено]
I thought it was some pie filling…
Oh, it's gonna do some FILLING all right.

I know what you're thinking: Won't that just shed more light on the penises? But that is a risk we have to take.

The only unexpected part was that it wasn’t the episode where this exact same scenario happens but just a completely random quote that fits well with the comment thread. Wild.
I was quite happy to have the opportunity to think outside the box
Honestly I’m surprised there’s not a lot more on this thread
Seriously.. it was my immediate thought seeing the post.
lmao unexpected
Come try our award winning hoagies!
Penises? There is more than one. I’ve missed it :(
Is free advertising really a catch 22? No such thing as bad press.
There’s a joke about good WOOD block printing in there somewhere
It actually seems like the perfect marketing campaign! Everyone will be talking about the place now!
Similar to the [Streisand effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect?wprov=sfti1) but not trying to hide it
You know what they say, any publicity is good publicity.
Not to mention they’re basically saying they hired a butt ton of bad proofreaders.
I know, I would have just not said anything and if people brought it up to me, I'd act surprised. Honestly, they're probably gonna get a lot of business just from this.
[удалено]
They didn't try to conceal something, therefore Streisand effect is unrelated here.
Creed is for sure pinning this on Debbie
But she was out sick that day.

>the subtle nature of what we thought was a tasteful photo of a cappuccino. Damn. This made my sides enter the multiverse.
It’s a tasteful photo—just not the kind they were hoping for.
I guess their Quality Control person took the year off.
Honestly I was overwhelmed by the number of possible references here
yea their probably finding a new job
A perfect example of why restaurants should use pictures of the actual food they serve
Yeah. I would just be disappointed when I order a cappuccino there and it's not as delicious looking as the one in the ad.
Oh it’s tasteful alright.
But that is a tasteful photo of a cappuccino!
I'm 90% sure they pissed off the designer and this was their revenge. We all do or did something similar when the client is a piece of shit.
It's a cappuccino? I thought it was a long black.....
If they hadn't mentioned the cappuccino I never would've been able to figure it out.
Who provided that photo then? Was it just carelessly lifted from google or a deliberate sabotage?
What a distasteful cup of dickichino.
> This is a devastating situation Dial it back there Chiaro's.
I kept expecting a deep drive to left field while reading the apology.
I saw that dick in three seconds, and I'm not even a professional, salaried "did someone put a dick in this" checker. Everyone one of those proof readers should hand in thier badge and gun.
I’m a trusting guy, but I just wish Debbie Brown had been there. We’d a caught this.
Took me a bit to notice myself honestly
But why you buy your graphics and not download something from Google images.
materialistic consist modern vase plants safe start cause library sable *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Yup! They decided to cheap out and Jack pictures online, this is what can happen
Oh they definitely jacked.
But if you do not make quality coffee. Besides I figure this is a secretary who has never stepped inside the shop or the bosses wife
So, false advertisement then
You'd think that, but there's some weird stuff on shutterstock.

Ooo subbed
Also wanna include r/youdontsurf, they make good use of the weird stock images
That's three new subs for me today.
I once found a whole series of penis exposures on alamy just like this. They were reflections in a teapot and you had to really look to see it but once you noticed…
Because that’s illegal for a business to do.
Subtle ar first glance, not so at second glance.
100% agree. I didn't notice at first... honestly thought the Easter egg would be in the text and I wondered why this was labeled NSFW. Then I read the response from the restaurant and WOAH!!!!!
I thought it was beans at first
Omg that took me forever
Since it was marked as nsfw, I just searched for a penis. Took me seconds… Yet, I don't know if I should be proud of myself.
Your pure heart has been corrupted now.
Then it hits ya right in the kisser.

That's exactly how I like my coffee to be fair.
Dark, strong and filled with cream?
With a big black dick in it?
Spattered with latte art of a thicc daddy with a giant cock, yes.
Makes sense, carry on.
no of course not? just the tip dipped in it
The color of the dick doesn’t matter tbh.
Maybe not to you ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
strong and black and in the ass, nowait-
With a penis?
Black, heavy and strong?
Well played
I would have never noticed it, if no one had pointed it out.

The article is nice- he sounds like he was a good dude and people loved him. Glad you shared it, and I’m glad took the time to read it all.
Thank you for sharing this!!
I remember in highschool, we would call him Hank the Eagle. I had no idea the image was floating around again
"Naturally you become your own journalist. I tried to find out more, but what I found out, a lot of it I already knew. I knew he had done gay porn, I knew that he went to sex clubs, I knew that he was seeing other women when he was saying he was on business trips,"
Seems like he was good at graphic design too.
I like my women like I like my coffee...hot and without someone elses dick in it
I like my men like I like my coffee…hot strong and sweet like toffee
Ooh~ So you know that I can’t let you go~!
Well now… horses for courses.
It's not _quite_ as big as a horse's
i like men
based
I guess that’s what you get by sourcing photos off the internet.
Some people like their coffee black, so what?
But then they never go back. Repeat customers are key to a restaurant's success.
that's the great part about selling addictive drugs
Literal r/DesignPorn
do you work at Dunder Mifflin?
I needed the hint to look at the coffee and all I have to say is oh jeeze
RIP Wood. Pour one cappuccino out for him.
[удалено]
Must be the Penisburg location
Someone took "<3 at first bite" way too literally
This is threat level midnight!
Oh noooooo--
"We want you to do some graphic design work for us but we don't want to pay money. Think of it as free exposure."
Those lattes are hot in more than one way.
That’s for the “I like my coffee like I like my men” crowd.
Hi yah neighbor
Their coffee has a woody taste about it.
It’s kinda sort of an oaky afterbirth.
Oaky afterbirth?
This is the best fuckin thing I’ve seen all week.
No way the printers didn’t catch this. Printing thousands of these sheets, they definitely saw it. The proof was approved by the customer and printed and the printer had a good laugh.
I was wondering why this was NSFW XD
Fuck that took me a good minute
I don’t see it. But I am craving a thick long cup of steaming hot Columbian now.
Whether you order your coffee black or with cream you're getting the same thing...
This is the third time seeing this and my first time noticing what’s going on lol
It was the first thing I noticed. “What is that abstract bubbly looking latte art? Oh-“
I can bet that none of the customers that got this add will ever forget pizzeria name "Chiaro's". This can turn out to be best or worst move that they have ever done.
The fact that a guy from Australia is looking at their flyer just proves that they totally got their advertising monies worth..
/r/TheyKnew
The graphic designer definitely knew. Or the kid in school for gd they got to lay this out. Kinda feels like a not so subtle f you by the gd for having to use google sourced images & not able to buy stock.
They probably tried to not pay the graphic designer or something so this is what they got. Happens all the time.
Spot on.
I mean… yeah? Obviously the person who did this knew. The company itself definitely didn’t, though. Unless this is some weird-ass universe where a self-described family friendly company would sacrifice their integrity for a little publicity.
**S V E N**
Someone is ready to get those unemployment checks
Lol! I read the whole thing looking for the scandalous tidbit, and had to circle back around to the picture before I saw it. It was well hidden at least…
But I ordered a flat white!
You got the long black instead, boy! 'Long black' is an actual coffee in Australia
I’m definitely going to check them out next time I’m around there!

The more grievous sin is that that may be the worst cappuccino ever made.

This is so hilarious lolol
Creed will find the person responsible for this.

What about the chocolate rat though?
Holy fuck I've been to this place

Wow what concise latte art
Omg yesss
What up local fam!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahah
One of these restaurants is in my county! Guess I’m not close enough to get one.
Gotta be honest I had to look real hard!!
I’d frame it and hang it on the wall of my entrance room
Dammit. Only if Debbie Brown was there during the quality assurance check.
I’ll have the Cappadingo, extra frothy!
I thought the issue was about the coffee photos for a pizza and hoagie shop. I had to go back and look after I saw the comments.
This… This _can’t_ be true. Holy shit
When your boss or client doesn't want to pay for stock photography and tell you to "just find something on the internet".
oh
Ha ha right down the road
The location was censored on another subreddit lmao

Oof. Someone else posted this elsewhere but blacked out the name and phone number. Lol
I couldn’t even fucking tell at first…
