An advertisement at the train station says:

“Financial Review: The daily habit of successful people.”

I don’t read the Financial Review, so am I unsuccessful? Are they advertising to get new readership, or is it merely a way to irritate those who don’t read the Financial Review and so prop up the delicate egos of those who do?

I can guarantee that I don’t measure success in the same way that the happy family at the Financial Review do.

(My measure of success is increased by the number of movies I see per year, and decreased by the number of household chores I am unable to evade.)

At least their shitty advertisement has confirmed my decision to not bore myself by reading their shitty excuse for a newspaper.

What’s that? Coffee futures are up and Telstra appointed a new CEO? Better crack another hard on for news like that. <Cracks unrelated hard on>
