40 Funny Times There Was an Attempt to Do Something Right But It Failed Miserably

It’s not like large corporations or publishing outlets are always particularly considerate of their clients’ requests. Still, they don’t usually advertise exactly which wishes they dismissed, as in the case of Tom McEldroon, who asked to remain anonymous. I wonder if Tom himself realized that his request was not honored.

Is this reputable newspaper so inconsiderate, or do the publishers not understand the meaning of anonymous? Maybe they think anonymous means famous—thus, by publicly announcing McEldroon’s name, they are giving him a chance at fame. He might achieve recognition instead of anonymity. Sorry, dude.
