Laws against misleading ads are very tough in the US, I remember that back in the 80's, some store had its ad misprinted, so that instead of saying "99th customer gets a free microwave oven!" it said "All microwave ovens: 99 cents!" ... and were forced to honor these ads. Ouch.I don't buy it. Not only is that an amazing typo that would be almost impossible to make in English, but most retail laws are enforced at the state level. Mass has some of the toughest pro-consumer retail laws, and IIRC if an item is mispriced they only need to take up to a maximum of $10 off to make it up. It wasn't a typo, more like someone in the newspaper screwing up the ad. I don't remember the details, as I was a kid back then, it could be an urban legend but then again, I have seen stores honoring ridiculous mistakes before.The funniest I remember was at Anaheim. Some guy in his mid-50's was buying something that had a 50% discount, with the normal price being $50. However, some sucker had also put a $17 "red sticker" (just like the ones morbs mentioned), so the store had to honor the $17 price tag, which they intended to do. However, the guy then proceeded to argue "this is 50% discount! 50% of 50 is 25 bucks!" for at least 10 minutes, and the manager had to be called. The guy actually wanted to pay more than the "red sticker" price. Geeze...
