Age masthead trashed – May 14

The advertising department at The Age continues to have more clout than the editorial department. Today we have a GIO post it type ad stuck over a pointer to a story about the maths crisis in schools.

When you remove the ad to read what’s underneath the text on the newsprint is removes as well.

In the bundles I checked today the GIO ad was folded over 50% of the time, making their message invisible unless you unfold the stuck on ad. I wonder if they have a make good clause in their advertising agreement.

    Congratulations!

    As a measure of fame this is pretty good.

    The ABC Chasers War on Everything trashed post it note advertisments tonight. To make their point they stuck post it notes all over David Kirk!

    I think you have made it now!

    Cheers
