Commercialism is overrunning virtually ALL forms of content today.
When you watch a movie on TV- the commercials increase in number and length toward the end of that movie- so bad the original program becomes unwatchable.
It's much the same for today's newspapers- you try to read news stories through full-page advertisements of shiny material crap.
What I read this morning trumps ALL the above.
The KANSAS CITY STAR in it's infinite corporate stupidity is actually INCREASING THE PRICE of it's advertising-fat Thanksgiving Day edition- from the "normal" 75-cents to a whopping TWO DOLLARS!
Imagine- the STAR's subscribers are CHARGED MORE FOR FOR A PAPER FILLED WITH COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!!!!!
How f-ing stupid is this???
I hope The KANSAS CITY STAR continues losing subscribers based on this boneheaded move- it'll absolutely serve them right and thank McClatchy for a whole-lot-of NOTHING....
