Toby has given a lot of free advice for the Star-Tribune over the past few weeks. Here is one he missed.

Does anyone else hate the ad sheet that covers the first page of many of the news sections? Typically, it is a car dealer ad…and it is about a page and a third. The third of the page covers up the front page of the news section.

I understand the need to monetize everything you can in a business. This one goes too far, its obtrusive and too much in my face.
