When LA Times readers picked up their newspapers this morning, they were greeted on the front page by the dark, outsized image of a vampire with blood dripping from his mouth. This striking picture advertised HBO’s television series ‘True Blood’ (the point being that the new season starts this weekend) and covered the entire page under the Times masthead. The ad relegated the top stories of the day to a trivialized insert section. OK maybe trivialized is too strong a word, but the ad still pushed some boundaries. What did you think?
