racing to the red light

I realize that evidently people don’t read much anymore, at least not news or literature. Or at least, the sense of anti-intellectualism in this country seems to indicate this.

I also realize that newspaper websites need to do what they have to do in order to pay the bills, as it were.

Still, does the L.A. Times really need to put up a full page, inescapable border for a movie around their front page?  Tacky and shameful for a supposedly world-class newspaper.
