Last month’s Fake Ad for the Certified Public Accountant’s Assistant Program at Southern Michigan University featured the name of the previous winner, Kitzsteiner, in the first letters of the nonsensical sentence, “Keep Income To Zero So Taxes Equal Investments Net Earned Revenue.” The ad appeared on page 29 of the July issue.
“Wowzers!” wrote Anne Baetzel. “This was a tough one. Very clever way to use the winner’s last name!!!”
“I had to hunt a little longer to find this one,” wrote Ivy Krasnow. “Yes, keep income to zero … that really is a good plan. Then, buy a winning lottery ticket.”
For a professional opinion, we turn to Kit McCullough, a lecturer in the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. “I teach a course on finance,” McCullough wrote. “Many acronyms are involved. KITZSTEINER is not one of them.”
In all, 168 clever Fake Adders correctly identified the ad. Our winner, Bonnie Schmick, is taking her gift certificate to Zingerman’s.
