A Mariners fan attempted to get the perfect photo of M’s starting pitcher “King” Felix Hernandez at Sunday’s game.

But instead, the photographer ended up creating an ad for the Dori Monson Show.

“[Brother-in-law] was snapping a pic of King Felix and inadvertently made a great ad for the show,” tweeted Twitter user Matt Gilbert, along with the hashtag, #DontTellMeAdvertisingDoesntWork.

There’s no word yet on whether Gilbert’s brother-in-law will be hired by KIRO Radio to do marketing for Dori.
