Sometimes we feel like we have to share the news, even if it really scares us, and leaves us more or less speechless.

After discovering this this haunting image on Fishbowl, we weren’t really sure what to do with ourselves. Come on, this is the Newspaper Association of America. These people are supposed to be our leaders — our role models.

There was one attempt at an explanation made though:

The campaign pushes the point that newspapers are the only medium for which advertising is a destination, not a distraction.

It doesn’t make any sense, but at least it is an attempt to explain this disturbing act.

Which is more than we can say for Condoleezza Rice, who, in a CNN aired conference in Cairo this afternoon (we are looking for the footage, we promise) referred to the English language as “American.” Twice.
