Poorly-Planned Ad Placement |
|
Salem Monthly, in Salem, Oregon is a fairly new, free newspaper. Most of their articles are about how fantastic local businesses are, in an attempt to get those places to advertise with them. But their attention to detail leaves something to be desired...
(You will see soon why I blurred those two big ad blocks.) In an attempt
to publish an actual story, there's this terribly sad piece about
the impacts of methamphetamine and other drug addictions on
children who live in addicted parents' homes.
Salem PD found five kids living in squalor because their mom was an addict, so they took the kids away. |

Parents just give up on their
kids. |

should we pick to include on this page?

And the ad above it?
