Reason,  Oct, 2003  by Charles Oliver

Ad designer Grandisoo Taber met garbage man Larry Heyes and decided the man would be perfect for an ad campaign to foster civic pride in New Bedford, Massachusetts. But after the ad featuring Heyes came out, someone contacted the paper about the city's new public face. It turns out that Heyes is a convicted child molester.

Taber says he'll try to be more careful in selecting the city's next spokesperson.
