Metro voting date gaffe

"Vote for change tomorrow! Vote Leefbaar Rotterdam!" says an ad that appeared on the front page of the Rotterdam edition of the 'Metro' today. The ad was placed by mistake, calling people to cast their votes for Leefbaar Rotterdam on Thursday, March 20, instead of today. Campaign leader, Ronald Buijt, feels sick to his stomach. Although the paper immediately apologized and took full responsibility, the damage is done, according to Buijt.
