Buying the New Yorker - Page 21

Two ads on this page.

The first is for a New Orleans themed benefit album, to help raise money for Habitat for Humanity. You can buy it from Borders. Hurricane Katrina was a horrible tragedy, and I feel awful making light of it, but I can't help wondering if there would be the same number of tribute albums if New Orleans was famous for something like mediocre late-seventies prog-rock instead of jazz. "To aid the hurricane victims, Jon Anderson and a group of diverse celebrities will be recreating the "Olias Of Sunhillow" album live at Red Rocks."

Our New Orleans - $12.99

The second is for a package tour to India via Singapore Air. The ad copy claims that the Taj Mahal at dawn is more inspiring than a latte. Way to stick your neck out.

Package Tour - $1,890.00

Running total - $6,304.02
