Guinness screwed the pooch on this St Patrick’s Day poster

A Guinness advert for St. Patrick’s Day is being shared for all the wrong reasons after a glaring ‘error’ was spotted.
Some of the Irish community in Toronto have complained to Guinness Canada for using a four leaf clover in the advert and not a shamrock as intended.



D'oh......

So, what's the difference between a four-leaf clover and a shamrock?  I thought they were the same.

Something that the Irish get their bums in a bundle over.

The shamrock is an iconic symbol of Irish heritage and culture.  It appears on the flag of Erin Go Bragh, meaning “Ireland Forever”, was utilized by St. Patrick as a symbol of Irish identity, and can be found on the uniforms of Irish sports teams, and on the tail of the national airline, Aer Lingus. 


Any Saint Patrick’s day event anywhere in the world is incomplete without it. 

Now you know!  :)

Aren't four-leaf clovers considered even luckier than shamrocks, though? As one-eighth Irish, I was always taught that the four-leaf variety was considered even more precious than the standard three-leaf one.

St. Patrick was an Englishman.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
