Again with the bad grammar

Radio advertising is generally very annoying. But at the moment one of the major electrical stores has an ad on in which they further annoy me by using what I consider to be bad English. They claim to have a special offer in store "until stocks last". What does that mean? Stocks don't last right now, but until they do there is a special offer? Crazy-talk.

Surely it has to be while stocks last, or until stocks run out.
