See Our Already-Obvious Ad Inside!!! ;-)
I almost forgot to commend RedEye for its restraint today. No moronic Valentine's Day cover story! There is a VD-themed teaser for Metromix listings, which seems more or less appropriate, even though VD is more or less horseshit.
I was, however, irritated by a Starbucks ad stuck on the cover (in the form of a post-it note) to tease to a full-page ad inside. That's just overkill. I've always thought Red should try and be a little more like the Sun-Times, and I guess giving me extra ad crap to throw away is a start.
