Finally, a front-page ad that I don’t despise
Monday, April 19th, 2010I detest most front-page ads I’ve seen. But this one, across the bottom of A1 of today’s San Francisco Examiner, caught my eye:
Basically, it’s a small strip ad advertising what is presumably a bigger ad on the back page.
So what’s on the back page? Who knows? Who cares? (Although, if you have a copy of today’s Examiner, please take a picture of that back page and send it to me.)
At least it’s not red and yellow and crammed with text. You know, like the one in the upper left corner.

UPDATE: 7:15 p.m.
Thanks to Julio Lara of the San Mateo Daily Journal , we now have a look at the back page ad:
It’s an ad for a doctors’ office, presented in quasi-David Letterman format. Except without the jokes.
For good measure, the Examiner then sold a strip ad across the top of the nearly-full-page-ad.
Many thanks, Julio!
