It happened around here too. One of the suburban Chicago YMCAs I think it was also had the same Wahoo Woman graphic. Who knows who had it first, but maybe it's just from some website or something where you can go and use and pay for graphics????
Who knows, but one of my consultants noticed the same exact wahoo woman in her Y's brochure. Weird!!

"Wahoo Woman" is just clipart - anyone can use her. There were several examples posted of other ad campaigns where she was used. (not as Wahoo Woman, but the same picture.)
It would have been better if PC had come up with something original.
