#1"Shrek" ad in NY Times
Posted: 6/15/08 at 12:46pmBe sure to check out the ad for "Shrek" in today's "New York Times." VERY clever.

With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-

Posted: 6/15/08 at 2:20pmA scanned pic really won't work. You need to read the ad closely to enjoy it.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

How about a scan so we can see it, and a detailed description of what to enjoy about it? This kinda thread is kinda irksome. :P

If it is irksome, why not go to a local store and pony up the $2 for a paper? Anyway...
SPOILER
It's a page of the NY Times theatre directory ABC's, but made up of dozens of fake show titles all related to fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters. Like a musical called "Hey, Diddle!" starring Cat, Fiddle, Cow, Moon, Dish, Spoon and The Little Dog. All of the directory info leads you back to Shrek The Musical. There's an ad for Shrek directly in the middle, outlined in green, and a silhouette of Shrek and Donkey over the listings.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

First up, my local shops only accept sterling, none of your "dollars" malarkey. Second up, my local shops only sell British papers. How exactly am I meant to skip merrily out and pick up a New York Times from a suburban England hole?

Thank you Smaxie. I didn't realize that the "New York Times" was so obscure and people so lazy that they couldn't find a copy of it ... even in New York! (With apologies to Weez and others in foreign countries.)
Not Barker, yes it is in the national edition. I am in Dallas.
