Confused Calendar-itis (my first recall!)

UPDATE 2015:  I no longer have an account with Lulu, so I've removed the dead URLs.  Instead, please find the most current calendars on my Shop!

Update: 12.9.08- The Calendar is now 100% good to go! Lulu just got the preview creator fixed and I have verified that it is, indeed, for 2009. Place your orders now to be in time for the holidays! And thank you again for your patience!

UPDATE 12.8.08: I am 95% certain that the printing error (the calendars printed with 2008's dates instead of 2009's!) has been fixed. Unfortunately, until Lulu fixes their website and I can create a preview of the calendar, I cannot verify that final 5%. Please keep that in mind when ordering. Also, this is an entirely new product, so all of the old links or bookmarks are invalid. I have fixed links to the calendar from the shop page and this blog.

A Major Printing Error has been discovered with this calendar. Please hold off on purchasing until we are able to resolve this problem. If you have purchased this item please email me as soon as possible.

What, you might ask, would constitute a major printing error? Perhaps the artwork titles are off? Could it be that an image is cropped badly? Mayhaps the color does not quite match my exacting standards?

Poppycock! Balderdash! Amateur mistakes!

No, when we screw up here, we do it with style and pizazz. And tons of collateral damage. Oh yes, we may go down in flames, but we sure as heck are gonna take as much of the planet along for the ride as we can!

These calendars are the wrong year. Yes, now you too can relive the ups and downs, tragedies and triumphs of 2008. Once again, experience the collapse of an economy and the triumphant rise of a new president-elect. And, you know, you get to drop a full 365 days from your age.

Read the rest of this post for the ugly, ugly details and what to do if you purchased a calendar (all the way at the bottom).
