‘Inquirer’ unveils new way to annoy readers

I’m sitting at my desk, browsing Philly.com, and I see on the front page a link to Inga Saffron’s column about the architecture of the new SEPTA stations in West Philly. (Yes, my intro for this post was to tell you how I found this article. Shush.)

Great, I thought. It’s Saffron, whose writing I like, it’s SEPTA, which is so charmingly awful, and it’s West Philly, where I used to live. (Okay, not really. But I like West Philly. Shush again.)

I’m reading the article, and it’s all about how the new EL stations are supposed to blend in a little bit with the early-20th century rowhouses that line Market Street. To me, this is interesting stuff. (One more peep out of you and you’re grounded.)

Then I reach the eighth paragraph. I finish reading it, and see this note as the ninth graph:

Editor’s Note: Read the rest of this column in tomorrow’s Inquirer.

I think it’s about time to declare the newspaper/Internet mashup craze over.
