In looking through today’s Bulletin, I came across this tragic headline:

I read the article, which again was quite tragic, but was quickly followed up with this full page ad on the very next page, offering some comic relief.

The ad is actually touting the quality of Norwegian chairs, which, at this point in time, seems a hell of a lot more appealing than a Norwegian cruise.
