I think you made the same mistake I did when I first saw this thread. Squinting at the indecipherable text on the Kobos and deciding that whatever Robin found so funny was made illegible by shrinking the image. Step back and look at the ad again, not focused on the Kobos..

Ah, someone in the crayon department forgot to change the placeholder text. No annual pay rise this year.

Obviously some of us have the same word blindness as the copywriter in Kobo.
