Could you post an example, for education purposes only?Steve Saxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00930320282262607468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-22153887098122631672008-05-20T13:02:40.421-07:002008-05-20T13:02:40.421-07:00Karina, I've seen newspapers before with <I>photos</I> of girls in bikinis, but nothing like that. Depending on the paper's circulation, that could be a lot of girls they'd have to stuff in the paper and deliver.<BR/><BR/>Seriously though, the bikini-clad girl in the middle of the paper is an extension of the strategy of using an attractive person to recite the news on TV.Eric Karroshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04070527828477695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-63481346011600340022008-05-20T12:31:33.175-07:002008-05-20T12:31:33.175-07:00should i retire the gnome picture?<BR/><BR/>p.s: i'm willing to typerace anytime!karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809119587515057105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-22053180505619877782008-05-20T12:28:10.384-07:002008-05-20T12:28:10.384-07:00Eric, in my city we have a "newspaper" with colorful graphs and pictures, complemented by one line captions or titles. If lucky, you get a couple of paragraphs, unless you read the show business gossip, it's kinda long. <BR/><BR/>In the middle of it, you get a girl with a bikini. It's awful.karinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809119587515057105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-61237746439841959052008-05-20T12:15:00.674-07:002008-05-20T12:15:00.674-07:00Coming soon: a "Nine Things" labelEric Karroshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04070527828477695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-53664138679391951572008-05-20T11:38:50.371-07:002008-05-20T11:38:50.371-07:00You just gave away the answers to the next SoSG Pop Quiz!Orelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08167042485092304070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-12041670563841760542008-05-20T11:35:27.492-07:002008-05-20T11:35:27.492-07:00I think I saw that graph in the corner of a USA Today page the other day:<BR/><BR/><B>Things for which Eric Karros can't wait:</B><BR/><BR/>- newspapers replaced by simple color graphs<BR/>- permanent typeracer rooms for competitions<BR/>- the Dodgers to win another World Championship<BR/>- knee replacement surgery so he can pick up the occasional ground ball<BR/>- warm doughnuts<BR/>- an end to the "recent comments" section on the sidebar<BR/>- jermaine stewart's comeback tour<BR/>- peace in the middle east<BR/>- more gnome picturesSteve Saxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00930320282262607468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-70247297648856520562008-05-20T10:28:22.110-07:002008-05-20T10:28:22.110-07:00While some, including myself, have been known to mock USA Today, they know what they're doing.

Given it was only twelve paragraphs in length, shouldn't this belong in the Page 2 section? Or even below the loathsome "Between the Lines" column?Steve Saxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00930320282262607468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-56955196401451442952008-05-20T09:51:44.942-07:002008-05-20T09:51:44.942-07:00I had the same reaction, except for the weeping.
