I just read an email by NPG saying "USA TODAY Weekend Edition Life section: Get IT."

So I went out and got it. And there's nothing about Prince in there.

WTF??!

you didn't happen to get today's issue, didja? most likely you gotta wait till tomorrow to get the proper issue.

I did get today's issue. But it's the Weekend Edition covering Friday/Sat/Sunday.

Fauxie said:

um, I tried to go cold turkey last year, and I said I wasn't gonna come back until I got the internet @ home, but I broke down! I went and got a new job with unlimited surfing potential and now I'm here! Here I type before you, a Prince addict.

he wants us to by a magazine for an ad?

why not just email us the content of the ad?

mochalox said:

well I, for one, am glad for your new job and your breaking down and giving in to your prince addiction.

You actually did very well at staying away. I've never lasted longer than a couple of weeks.

LOL

sosgemini said:

yes. if you are a true fam you will buy it. then you will cut out the ad and mail it to vermillion, ohio.

you will get a 1999:The New Master rub-off tattoo for your troubles.

There was some substance in them that made The Rainbow Children listenable

I bought the USA Today Weekend Edition, and on pg. 5E is a full page ad for the National Kidney Foundation, featuring Susan Surandon...she looks good in it--so I think I'll buy 3121 now...

(I looked on every other page of the whole paper and found no ad...there was a small synopsis of the Brit Awards, with a quick mention that Prince performed.)

well, crap.

Anx said:

I say we send vouchers for reimbursement to Prince since his site's damn e-mail told us to check it out




Hey I can spell!

i want the fifty cents i was going to spend back!!!

on a side note, am I the only one who just opens the paper right up to see if what I want is in there before I buy it?

I'm so rude

EskomoKisses said:

not rude at all. i would never buy usa today "just because"...i hate that paper.

I just bought USA Today, found the ad, and thought it was well worth the lousy 75 cents to buy it. And then I got to show it to everyone I work with so they can really think I'm nuts

starfysh said:

Care to give VERY specific edition details so as to prevent more "it wasn't in there" dilemas?

Yeah, I just bought the darn paper and no Prince. Susan Sarandon on 5e and no Prince ad to be found.
Do they mean the USA Today that comes in the Sunday paper?

On a side note, I love how they glossed over Prince's performance at the Brit Awards. Not even one pic. But hey, as long as Madonna's okay, I guess that's all that matters.

sosgemini said:

I heard that the SNL epposode having prince was "the largest" this or that.

The USA paper would be tracked. Maybe the NPG wanted to see the numbers of sales of the paper go out. DOn't you know they do not have big enough egos already>?

I assumed that it is in the magazine that comes in the Sunday paper.

well surely it should be in the int. edition then as well, and if not u can the U.S. edition anywhere in the world and check for yourself! u nutters...

Anx said:

Ummm ... it's actually 75 cents!

nobody has been able to provide a scan of it today, so i'm guessing it didn't hit the paper. a few people have said they've seen it, so either it's only running in certain regions or else some people are just
