Garish ads strike out

Blinking, screaming, annoying, trashy web-site ads finally drove me away from my customary pursuit of the morning’s news. 

Attempting to read through the firestorms set up by the Advocate and by MSNBC was like trying to read while looking into the lighting effects of a rock band. In spite of that, I wasn’t the least curious about the brassy advertisers or their messages so, in addition to annoying me, they also wasted a lot of money.

Here’s a perfect example of greed defeating itself. If they keep it up, if they improve on the crassness, maybe they can drive readers back to print and TV screens.
