After seeing this image tweeted last night, I went to the Baltimore Sun’s website to make sure it wasn’t a Photoshop job; it was not. I’ve invited the Sun to comment

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

The BS will soon just be a bad memory.

[Red Badger]

Looks familiar..............

[Gen.Blather]

Hummm. I went to the Baltimore Sun page and they have this question on it. It’s not about are Enterprise Zone Tax Breaks right or wrong, but should they be used in areas that aren’t economically depressed? How about NO ZONES? How about a LEVEL PLAYING FIELD?

Enterprise zone tax breaks

Is it wrong for Baltimore to grant enterprise zone tax breaks to projects in areas of the city that are not economically distressed?
Yes
No
Not sure

Hey it could be worse they could be taking EBT/SNAP cards>

The business model for the BS is fundamentally flawed. You can get owebama’s press releases for free without any of the ads or pop-ups by going to the white house website.

lulz beat me to it.

[Red Badger]

You need more Brawndo...............

All I see is that Jarvis Appliances bought a full front page ad.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Wow! The only other website I’ve ever seen looking so funky was a matrimonials site from India.

[lbryce]

That’s the very front page of the newspaper. Where headlines, news stories are traditionally located.

Cal Worthington and his “dog” Spot, acres and acres of used cars!!!

either it got fixed or I have adblockers working:

[libertarian27]

I use ‘ghostery’ -blocks pretty much everything.

[lbryce]

That’s the magic of the internet in distinguishing itself from the dead tree media where editing, updating news, articles are made possible in a manner inconceivable to the MSM in its current paper form. It is all too-often that I’ve encountered updated versions of articles having supplanted ones with errors, offensive content, lost, gone, 404ed, into the infinite cyber-abyss.

[Mister Da]

Because of all these ads & the links to social web sites, pages are loading slower & slower.

Arghhh!!!!

[lbryce]

Slow loading due to ads that suck all available resources are very easily remedied. Much more so for Mozilla Firefox, somewhat less effective with Google Chrome. I never, hardly ever see ads with the several add-ons, extensions installed.
