news paper

does a news paper even work?
do people even read them
i am forced to try and decide whether or not 
to advertise the fall festival with the local newspaper

i am thinking tha
t more than likely if anyone reads the newspaper 
(doubtful) that they will unlikely read my 2x3 inch ad on page i27

so i am contemplating the power of newspapers
we use them to potty train our puppies
and then later spank them with them
(its not wonder dogs have more urinary track infections than any other animal)

we use them on the bottom of our bird cages
(what is it with newspapers and animal excretions)

we use them to pack glass and fragile items in a move

but does anyone read them other than the occasional coffee drinker
in the cafe, who is really just using the paper to not feel akward for being alone

also the use of newspapers for paper machee....thats a popular one (not)

so is it really worth it to advertise with the newspaper
 especially after the dogs brings it in, do we really want to read through all the slobber

I never read the paper. My mother however reads it religiously. She loves to read it at night before she goes to bed. I know when anything happens with old classmates. She calls and says - "Did you go to school with..." She reads who died, who was arrested, and even the advertisements. I guess if the grandparents are bringing the grandkids to the festival it is worth putting it in.
