Intrusive and tacky
Please, please get rid of the “Post-It note ads” on the cover of the Rocky. These have been bothering me for weeks but today (Sept. 3) was the worst.
Here is a poignant photo of an young injured Marine vet holding a cane. A portrait that could portray so many realities of war. Instead, the readers’ attention is drawn to the “Labor Day Blowout” sale at Carpet Mill. These ads are intrusive and tacky. Please stop.

Once again, get a life! Just take the post-it notes off the front page and place them in your favorite trash bin. End of problem.
Posted by on September 15, 2007 08:55 AMI've already cancelled my subscription for this very issue, which is more of a last straw. I'd been fighting with the News for years to stop wrapping the Sunday funnies in ads, to no avail. I now get my favorite comics via email and read the rest of the "paper" on line. And maybe save a few trees while I'm at it...
Posted by jimi99 on September 15, 2007 09:42 AMI too cancelled my subscription because of these obnoxious ads. They are an unacceptable blight. A deliberate denigration of our culture.
To "get-a-life" - maybe you should heed your own words.

Yeah! I won the bet with my husband -- I've been telling him for weeks that these post-it note ads were tacky, but he claims they are merely sticky.
However, I must beg to differ on one point in this letter: these notes appearing as they do on the surface of the paper are clearly extrusive, not instrusive.
