I totally agree ... what a ghastly waste of pixels. What were they thinking? 

Not click-bait, I hope. I would expect more from either of our two great/duelling national newspapers. I subscribe (happily ... to the tune of  $45/month) to both. 

And "duelling" (to show journalistic excellence) is just fine ... we all win.

But ... this shyt ... I do not appreciate being "played" like this.  Really. 

Really a completely thotless initiative from the marketing folks ...
