No kidding! And what does it say about editorial/critical integrity, too?

I know newspapers are hurting for revenue, but things are getting beyond crazy with this stuff. Did you know it now costs $2000 to put an obituary in the Boston Globe, and $1400 for the Providence Journal? Used to be free, up to about two years ago. Sick, if you ask me.
