Boopsie: Hey...here comes Cornell! Uh-oh...he's carrying a newspaper! Cornell: Anyone want a section of the paper? Boopsie: The paper? You still read the paper? How come, Cornell? Cornell: News, Boopsie. To find out what's going on. Boopsie: But that's what "Entertainment Tonight" is for. Cornell: Whoa...we've really slipped into post-literacy, haven't we? No wonder newspapers are in such trouble...The tube rules, totally. People buy papers for the TV and movie listings. They buy magazines for the pictures, they still buy actual books, but they rarely finish reading them. Boopsie: Wow...that's pretty scary. Will anyone finish reading this? Cornell: Good question. Zonker: Boys! Girls! Did you make it this far? You may have won a valuable prize! Check with this newspaper!
