When the Oregonian was preparing all of us paper subscribers for the crappy conversion, they had a question-and-answer section about the Brave New World. My favorite question was something like, "I always enjoy the Thanksgiving Sale Edition. If you aren't going to publish on Thursday, how will I know about the sales?" The answer was something to the effect of, "Not to worry! We'll publish a SPECIAL Thanksgiving Edition with all of the ads!"
And so it has come to pass.
And so it has come to pass.
And so it is chock full of ads. On the left: the paper. On the right: the ads.
And that isn't really even correct, because if you crack open that front page you will find it is 90% full-page ads. The pile on the right: straight to the recycle bin. The pile on the left: I read it. But I skipped all the ads.

Ugh. I can't believe someone actually requested a special edition filled with ads. People have got some really weird priorities.
