The Disney Corporation promoted its film on the life of Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson in Paris, with full-page newspaper ads showing him with part of the Constitution. However, as all high school students ought to know, Jefferson was not involved with the drafting of the Constitution, since at the time he was in Paris serving as ambassador to France. In fact, he is the author of the Declaration of Independence. Informed of the error, a spokeswoman for Disney said they became aware of the mistake immediately after the ads appeared. She said, "We all walked in Monday morning and said, 'Oh, f***.' "
