LA Weekly: Our Cover Is For Sale

And here you thought the New Times takeover wouldn’t improve things at the Weekly. Check out the innovative new ad spot stapled to the front.
How pissed are you if you’re William Kelly and your entire cover piece title and byline is completely blocked out by a damn ad?
and a horrible ad at that…most glancers wouldn’t even know that was a movie.
If I were one of the Weekly’s paying Cambodian transvestite hooker advertisers, I’d be pissed.
I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve always aspired to be a Cambodian tranny hooker.
By the way, this piece was more NIMBY garbage. “OMG we can’t fit any more people in California!” My happy ass, we can fit plenty–just stop handing water to alfalfa farmers in the Imperial Valley for 10% of the cost of delivering it to them, and all of the sudden an awful lot of water will appear on the market. We could probably start some better urban conservation practices, too, but the principal source of Western water waste is agriculture–always has been, is now, and will be for the foreseeable future.
Hopefully the one on Owens Lake from this past Thursday was better.
Who would have thought that an aspiring Cambodian tranny hooker would be so knowledgeable about water resources?
