Every thursday we get the latest edition of The Spirit (our famous local newspaper here in Charles Town) delivered to our door. I'd post a link for them, but they don't yet have a website. I mean..it's only news...it's not like anyone would want to read news on the internet. No reason for them to have an email address either. Only a trusty phone number.
Actually, in their defense, I heard they did have the internet once...but it was a complete disaster. Their staff found the pop-ups to be too distracting. The world is just not ready for the reality of what goes on in this small town...or maybe it's the other way around.
Usually the paper is only good for fire starting material or looking up which one of my old neighbors died, but occaisionally something will stick out at me as being funny or typically small town or just ignorant. For example, here's an ad that ran today for a real estate agent in the area. I could go on about how the text of his ad is designed to create emotional basketcases that become really worried about purchasing their next house, but just look at the picture. Tell me there isn't something wrong here:
