As I exited the subway at Columbus Circle into the absolutely blinding light, the AM New York man was proclaiming that, for today only, he was giving away free sun shields ("they only look like newspapers!").

I wonder if anyone else realizes this man is a genius.

I also wonder if the editorial staff of AM, whoever they are, would appreciate this treatment of their work. On one hand, the paper's getting given away regardless and there's no way of forcing anyone to read it. On the other hand, it was probably not their life's ambition to decorate a sun shield. Then again, it probably also wasn't their life's ambition write for AM New York...
