They say newspapers are a dying industry, because the advertising revenue has dried up.

Well, unless this gun show bought the only ad the paper sold that day, did they have to put it on the same page as the “Sandy Hook Elementary kids return to school” story? No they did not. Epic ad placement fail.

Ugh.

According to Buzzfeed, The Stamford Advocate confirmed this ad is running on page A5 of today’s edition.

Who exactly are they advocating for?
