I realize the newsroom is distracted these days, but how on earth did this morning's jump to the story on H&M coming to Socal wind up on the opposite page of a full-page color ad for H&M? (In case you have the paper handy, it's on pages A20 and A21.) Layout editors are supposed to be scrupulous about keeping an ad about a subject - be it a store, movie or TV show - well away from a news story, feature or review about that same subject. I'm assuming this was not deliberate - just some horrendous goof. Right, folks? Folks?
