The edition of global tourism magazine Where published in Orange County California has stripped its website of any trace of this cover - not surprisingly.

Oops!

The common art-director trick of making the art bigger by covering up a portion of the title " proved disastrous," said Adweek adding, "The model will not be adding this one to her portfolio."

A tweet from the editor said, " @romenesko Image placement was inadvertent, but we don't want to offend anyone, so are printing a replacement issue: bit.ly/Q2b5bP."

Reports of a rush of male tourists to Orange County cannot be substantiated.

The funny thing is, the same thing happened to Where's Milan edition earlier this year."Apparently they don't talk," said Adweek .
