NEWSFLASH!!! CLASSIC KANSAS CITY STAR ADVERT OFFERS SAME DEAD-TREE DISCOUNT NEWSPAPER PLEA!!!



For our fellow fossils who still think Kansas City's daily paper is relevant, here's an old school advert extolling the virtues of print media . . .

Take a peek:


The punchline???

Most of these "selling points" are STILL constantly repeated by locals who might not know THE NEXTGEN IS LOSING INTEREST IN NEWS OVERALL and most people glued to their smartphones are focused on personal social media gossip rather than current events.

You decide . . .

  2. The only news that matters is how many hood rats got killed and how many whores the hub fucked. I can get that right here

  3. Nice try but the Star is irrelevant and will not survive

  4. My friends and I would eat dirt before we would pay to have paper delivered.
    A lot of old people work there- from Sports photo shooters to the opinion people (and the young opinion people seem pissed and angry so why read that?)
    In school we learn about survival skills for staying relevant. Fuck that. I would want to prosper in cutting edge- not stay relevant and they suck at that even.
    I am going in July to Ragbrai in Iowa and ride - guess who sponsors that? The cool Des Moines Register. Great stories- great pics by YOUNG PHOTO SHOOTERS, and yes I will buy a paper that cares about the community and gets involved.
    The Star sucks pond water with old geezers and angry young people who are cluelessness

  5. All we want to know is our social media status and where beer and cheap eats are. You don't need to think now with smart phones.

  6. The Star's reign is over. The Star thinks it is important and doing the community a great service but they are insignificant.
