The Sunday paper

As an experiment, I have subscribed (via the local newspaper shop) to the Sunday Times. I am wondering, how the heck do people read this thing!? Plus the daily papers, plus other reading material etc etc? When I have been on a course various places, I have always been one of the fastest students, but I would say such a Sunday paper would take me until next Sunday to read. And I don't mean reading every dang article, just the more relevant stuff.
I think people cheat somehow.       :-)

  1. Maybe you're not supposed to read it, just say that you do :)

    I don't believe that for a second. No one else will say so, but the usual people who routinely school you on things - ttl, Pascal - know how dumb (andy lazy) you are.

  3. They probably just read the sports section, the comics, plus look at any store sale ads that come with it. :D

  4. We Sunday paper readers have our favorite sections that make it worth while. The rest is used to line the bottom of the bird cage and protect from paint splatters. ;O)

  5. Anonymous - it seems that you have evaluated the cinderblock IQ of him correctly.

    If and when his girly naked picture website craters, he might have to actually find a (bloody) job.

    But with no skills, he might best get on a flight to Copenhagen and do something there. God knows what.

    Hopefully he's saved his money. Still, people aren't likely to get tired of looking at naked chicks anytime soon. ;-)

  7. I'm wondering why people come and write such hurtful things to another. Your lives must be VERY "fulfilling"!! Nothing better to do with your time? WAY SAD! :-(

  8. Sometimes I think that Anonymous is not a human being, but a literary creation of Eolake...

    I never understood how people read newspapers in general -- I find them too big, smelly and difficult to read.

  9. That's why they made tabloids, which are smaller and have smaller words and sentences.
    And smaller thoughts.

  10. Questions to ponder:

    1. Is your copy of the Sunday paper more valuable than the tree it was printed on? As they say, the former is tomorrow's chip paper, but the tree could have lived 100 years.

    2. Could there possibly be some other way to receive the messages of the Ministry of Truth that would not require killing living entities?

    Have you considered one of those new handheld electronic devices where the pages appear successively on a flat illuminated screen?

    I cancelled my subscription over a decade ago, after asking myself question #1 above. For years I continued to read mainstream news on the web, but I no longer do even that. It's not worth it in my opinion.

  11. I never did read papers, but I thought I'd try to see if I could figure out what the attraction is.

    At least until I have stocked up on scrap paper to cover things when needed.

  12. "I'm wondering why people come and write such hurtful things to another."

    I'm pretty sure they have self-esteem issues. Like for real, I'm not trying to be insulting, that's how I honestly see it. I don't know why else a grown man would say "cinderblock IQ".

    You probably find a lot things difficult to read. That slow wop mind at work.

    Maybe he's not a grown man, but a snot-nosed wet behind the ears boy like you.

    I'm thinking you're no longer than 16 or 17. Probably a geek, too.

  16. No older than 16 or 17. A slip worthy of your giant intellect.

    Really, what's your neck measurement? Do you wear tape on your glasses?

    You're both equally bad.

  18. Anyway, 26 actually, but that's beside the point. Dude, lets put the yo mama jokes aside for a minute and try having an actual conversation. I'd like to know why you feel the need to do what you do. Isn't it kind of a waste of time to keep coming back to a blog if you dislike it so much? Please don't change the subject.
