They really do need that proofreader

In the further adventures of Small-Town Newspaper Screw-Ups, here's an in-house ad for a proofreader that ran in a little paper called The Gardner News:

The numerous grammatical errors are glaring, but here's one that should have been even more obvious among the staff: They spelled the publisher's last name wrong.

From the same paper comes this perplexing page, with obits on the top and an in-house promo ad on the bottom. Look at the guy in the ad. Familiar?

Some sort of subversive advertising message, perhaps? Read our paper... or die!
