Dear Newspapers,

It's time.

It's time for a remodeling, and I think your failure in the current economic crisis is definite evidence for such a need. You may think people are merely too poor to keep buying 21 cents worth of fine printed media, but you'd be wrong.

In reality, the world hates you. Hates your flimsy gargantuan pages, which are impossible to read unless you have a 25 foot long table. Hates your dull gray pages and cheap black ink, which soils our fingers with every turn of the page. Hates your persistent reporting of terrible happenings in the world. If you wrote about rainbow eating puppydogs instead of suicide bombings, I'd be more inclined to continue the full article.

OKAY! I GET IT! The US is STILL in a war with Iraq and Afghanistan! The world is STILL suffering monetary troubles! The Chinese STILL refuse to help Darfur! Let's move on from this wretched negativity, shall we?

Where are the disco-dancing party bears? Where are the gumdrop buttons and candy canes? Where is your dignity!

So I say to you New York Times, Washington Post, and USA Today: change your format and coverage immediately or an angry mob will soon be at your doorstep, demanding good news and decent paper construction.



Love,
That girl who had to follow Russian articles everyday for 3 months

i'm pretty sure the bears, candy and dignity were replaced by a male enhancement ad.
