Ads on the Front Page

Star Tribune skyboxes with Up to $150 in coupons inside notice
Was anyone else disturbed by this unusual notice included on the top left of the front page of the Sunday Star Tribune (February 24, 2008)?

Gosh, you mean there are up to $150 in coupon savings in the newspaper? Guess I should buy one, since that's the only reason to pay good money for a bunch of paper. I'd never want to pay for a newspaper just to read the news.

Guess they're still trying to figure out how to "monetize" the newspaper business model at this late date.
