The problem isn't the typo. Anyone can make a mistake, and under pressure to meet a deadline, it's easy to see where someone could type people when they meant to type pepper. What is really a remarkable display of cluelessness, however, is the statement by Bob Sessions, the head of publishing for Penguin Group Australia:

"[W]hy anyone would be offended, we don't know."

Really?
