I got the newspaper today, oh boy
22 pages covering the entire world and the Richmond Times-Dispatch's loony op-ed page (several full page ads in there too)
12 pages Metro & Business (with ads)
8 pages of sports (back page is an ad)

and the ads

Holy crap! there must be 3 inches of color glossy ads from every chain store imaginable

3. Ha!
We stopped paying for the thing a few years ago but they still deliver it-usually only the Sunday edition

I guess it was important for us to get this ad flier today

11. the holes were rather small.

13. Wait until you see tomorrow's paper.
Black Friday's paper is always worthless, except for the sports section. Everything else was written last week.
