A project relating to this came across my desk a couple years ago. It was a nightmare, and Hachette ended up being one of the very few clients I've had to fire.

Aah-shette
Aah-shette
Aah-shette.

I guess if I worked there, today I'd been saying "Aw, sh_t."

Although it's hard to argue with the star quality of its hunky and impeccably-pedigreed co-founder, perhaps there was some inkling of all this in the inaugural issue of the godawful George, with Cindy Crawford in George Washington drag?
