Very Weird Examiner Ad Has Us Baffled
There's so many things about the San Francisco Examiner that stir wonder, but when we stumbled upon this gem in Sunday's paper, we felt as though the newspaper had reached a new level of confounding its readers.
Look.
We're confused. Is this an advertisement or a story? There's a byline, but it's strangely paired with what appears to be an ad for shopping, not picnicking. More importantly, why would we go shopping on a day that's nice enough for a picnic?
So then we thought perhaps this was the Ex giving us a list of places to shop to prep for a picnic. But no, it can't be. I mean why would you stop at Best Buy or hit Amazon.com on your way to a picnic? You wouldn't.
That left us with nothing but the lady in a gingham bikini, which still has nothing to do with a picnic. Well, actually, the two-piece does resemble a tablecloth. So there's that.
