" the 25c newspaper would cost $5," - but in a 25c newspaper, the ads do not pop up in front of the columns, flash, move, try to hijack my eyeballs, make the newspaper ten times as heavy, track what other newspapers I read or, frankly, annoy the hell out of me. Ads that don't do that, I don't mind. I don't mind Googles ads, for instance - as they aren't offensive or intrusive.
