READ IT AND RECYCLE IT...
Thank you for reminding me to recycle my newspapers, so my latest New Times, instead of being tossed away, will be saved for next Wednesday, Miami Beach's recycling day.

...OR LAY IT OUT FOR LITTLE FIDO...OR -- WHOA! WILLYA CHECK OUT THOSE ADS! Even though many people have written to you about your sexist and explicit ads, I have yet to see any change in your advertising. You have managed to set women back 100 years. The best use I find for New Times is to paper train my dogs!

As for the women who pose in your "newspaper": not only do they degrade themselves, but they degrade all women. They are a disgrace, and they disrespect the thousands of women who fought, and are still fighting, for equal rights. Until women stop degrading themselves we cannot expect men to stop.

When women use their bodies as sex objects, they are treated as such. Aside from degrading women, these ads show where the advertisers think men's intelligence lies. Unfortunately, they are right!
