    More "Informed" than Smart. We do write to the 8th-grade level after all :)

    It's much hotter when a girl is reading "The Economist" than the local rag.

    What they have to do is get newspaper reading into scenes of major movies and TV shows. Like they did with cigarettes. Make newspapers look happening by having Depp and Pitt and Jackson and Roberts reading a paper during a scene, that's how you make it cool. Maybe.

    No, that's how you make movie characters look old. Have them reading a newspaper, preferably with those half-glasses down their noses.

    This is actually not a terrible idea. I like it. A lot actually. Product placement in television shows and movies that young people watch? Why not?
