So, I was hoping that the article about the LDS Church taking over City Weekly was some kind of sick joke ... however, it appears that the joke is on all of us, and it kind of does make me sick. [“End of an Era,” April 1, City Weekly].

I was just wondering if it was coincidence that a Fox 13 news ad appeared in the latest issue, when I don’t recall seeing one before. Aha! Let the damning of the independent paper begin! But, I’ll keep reading, at least until all of the “real” writers get fired and I just can’t take picking up the paper anymore.

Editor’s Note: Apparently, our April Fools’ joke continues to have legs. Again, to reassure our loyal readers, we were not actually sold to the LDS Church.
