What's That, You Say?

Something has become quite clear about the readers of the Bulletin.

Flipping through Monday's edition of The Bulletin, it became clear that the readers of our daily paper are either a) quite old b) not especially great listeners or c) fans of the latest hearing assistance devices. In the "A" section of the paper alone, there were three full-page ads for hearing aids. Then, there was another half-pager in the Local section and another full-page in the Green portion of the paper. Either we totally missed out on marketing to a new Medicaid reimbursement program or The Bulletin is clearly appealing to a certain demographic that's more interested in orthopedic shoes than running shoes. If that's the case, might we suggest a few ideas for upcoming issues: a "How to Be Scared of Everything" section and the new weekly column "Get Those Kids off My Lawn."
