Newspaper Ad Asks ‘Got Stumps’ Above Story About Amputee

On Sunday, a stick on newspaper ad for tree service TBF Services with the headline “Got Stumps” appeared above a story about an amputee who lost the lower half of her leg in a car accident.

The tree service purchased the ad a year in advance. Incredibly, no one involved in the sticking of the sticker process thought it worthy of, oh, yelling “stop the presses” and, you know, exhibiting a bit of common sense.

Alas, this crap still happens all the time. The owner of TBF Services was alerted by friends on Sunday when the newspaper was distributed.

Can you say Make Good?
