An X Games ad I saw on ESPN last night had two Barn Owls bouncing around hooting, accompanied by the following text: "Even 'Snowy Owls' like the X Games." Moreover, the hooting was clearly from a Great Horned Owl. Thus, there were no Snowy Owls to be seen or heard. Who edits these things?

Sage,

Probably one of those darn, financially-oriented MBAs who was unable to schedule a grad school ornithology course. Hope you're doing well.
