Over the summer NYTimes.com heavily advertising their new "global edition" that they publish with the International Herald Tribune. They were actually pretty obnoxious about it, so much so that every time you'd go to the regular version a bar would pop up asking if you wanted to switch over. So me, the wish-I-was-worldly-but-really-am-not sort of person I am decided to switch over so every time I visited I'd all sorts of international news to keep me well versed in worldly issues. Oh, that and the stupid bar that kept popping up just got annoying and I just wanted it to stop appearing.
Too bad I'm actually quite unworldly. Aaaaand as a result I've barely read NYTimes.com since.
I just switched back after realizing why the site has been so uninteresting to me recently, but man is that a case of advertising gone wrong.
