(3,433 posts)Maybe work with the ad agency to choose something that reflects the sentiments of the dignity and dramatic nature of the front page?
Or leave it out of the meme you produce to promote your paper?

How about a quote from Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, etc?
We have ads like this all the time. The International Auto Show is going on now here in Downtown Detroit. I don't see why the ad is a big deal. Don't lose the message of the cover.

(6,264 posts)I live in metro Detroit. I do get the paper delivered. At first I thought part of the paper was missing. What a great cover! We here in Michigan are just as disgusted at the rest of the country. The president of MSU resigned last night although I'm not totally sure if she should be the only one held responsible.

Nobody employed in the upper echelons at USA Gymnastics, or at the United States Olympic Committee, or at Michigan State University should still have a job. If accessorial or conspiracy charges plausibly can be lodged against those people, they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Those people should come out of civil courts wearing barrels. Their descendants should be answering motions in the 22nd Century. In fact, I can argue convincingly that none of those three institutions should continue to exist in its current form. USA Gymnastics and the USOC should lose their non-profit status forthwith. Michigan State should lose its status within the NCAA for at least five years. American gymnastics is no longer a sport. Its a conspiracy of pedophiles and their enablers.
