Have you been trashed by the Dayton Daily news?

I’ve been trashed in the paper. I’ve been disrespected by their “journalists” and going back, by their “editorial board” when they used to have one. But, the worst trashing I get from them is the garbage they indiscriminately throw in my yard, on my sidewalk, in the gutter of the street- of their “advertising circulars.”

Considering I pay them to read their dreck in the environmentally friendly but hopelessly useless digital edition on my iPad, you would think when I call nicely and ask them not to toss their trash in my yard, of ads- I already skip when reading their rag (hint to advertisers, there are very few reasons to advertise in newsprint anymore- if you need help with advertising- try my agency ^[1]).

There is a very long thread on NextDoor.com ^[2] (membership required to view link) with people discussing ways to stop the littering, including legal action.

So this Christmas, George (my dog) and I decided to take an Ikea bag and fill it with their trash and share the season with the folks at Cox- in their HQ on S. Main Street.

Watch and enjoy- and share as much as possible.
