Oops.
The banner "refer" at the top of today's St. Cloud Times front page in Minnesota directs readers to an eight-page section, "Exercise: weigh options for workouts at home or gym."
The unrelated story below, "Business owners eager for new take," features a photo of the very large Don BlonigenDijital Majik, president of a local computer repair business. (Bigger .pdf of the page.)

Plus there's the cheeseburger bill story to the left.
ReplyDeleteNone of those stories on the front page would I be interested in reading. Boring!
Jim must be a descendant of the mythological Hundred Handed Ones. With each hand, he throws another cowpie at the wall.
ReplyDeleteJim points a relevant point 4:41 and were this man a large auto advertiser or realtor (yes, pun intended) you can bet someone would be rushing over to kiss his arse to make up for the embarrassing situation that newspaper created.
ReplyDelete5:20 helps toss the cowpies.
ReplyDeletebwahahaha! This happens at our paper more than you realize! They have let go of experience in favor of cheaper, younger workers who let this kind of stuff go all the time. This is what you pay for Gannett!!!! Suck it up!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the old rule "NEVER put a liquor ad on the obit page."
ReplyDeleteOr an airline ad on a page with a crash story.
It has happened. ;-)
I'm laughing harder at the guy's name...Dijital Majik...seriously? Guess I'm immune to the ironic placement of stories by now, thanks to our centralized production center.
ReplyDeleteUm, I think the guy's name is Don Blonigen. Dijital Majik is the name of his business. Take a closer look.
ReplyDeleteOops.
Ahhhh! No dinner OR dessert for me tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe haters on this thread are obese pigs. Of this, I am certain.
ReplyDeleteI've been in too many Gannett newsrooms. Too many fat-bellied editors... come on, its not as though there aren't 24-hour gyms.
Have you ever seen this paper. A dead fish would not even want to be wrapped in it.
