Newspaper covers the main story of the day with a stuck-on ad

The publisher of the Herald Sun is so proud of the PSO attacked in Melbourne a couple of nights ago that they sold ad space to cover their front-page photo of the local hero.

The front page without the ad would have had far more impact but, hey, the newspaper is a vehicle for advertising first and foremost so it makes sense that they put dollars before such an important local story.

This ad for David Jones harms their brand.
