Passive ??
They could print this on the cover of every front page and would achieve the same results.
i do like the front page stories about cute dogs licking ice cream cones on hot days.
Considering that you are one of the O’s biggest competitors, I’d say this is VERY FUCKING IMPORTANT! You know what you must do.
@ frankieb: Apparently passive-aggressive now means anything that doesn’t involve physical aggression.
It is like they are daring me to take all the papers out of the box…
I gotta go with econoline here. A much younger, ass-holish me would have made sure that box was empty within the hour.
@tags: those stories are the best thing about the Oregonian! “Dog-gone It’s Hot!”
Why can’t the Mercury print stories like that, something the whole family can enjoy?
I’m guessing it’s rather important to the wholesaler who gets paid per paper.
Oregonian Whaleeater? Wattlehealer?
Extreme Couponers, at it again.
OMG what a blow that would be. Kinda like a WNBA strike.
I’m with Frankie B and Guspasho. People have gotten really lazy about the definition of that term. There’s nothing passive aggressive about this note. Discontinuing service at the box without a notice would be a better example of passive aggressiveness.
the Oregonion: still printing almost-news
