The smallprint reads

“Dear reader: our circulation director wants us to try what she’s calling a ‘grassroots marketing campaign.’ Here’s what you need to do. Make some photocopies of this page. Cut slits between the tabs at the bottom. Then, display or distribute the poster in places like corner stores, bathroom stalls, laundromats, beauty parlors, university libraries, stuffed in other magazines, bookstores, health clubs, supermarkets, community stores, phone booths, subway cars, windshields, lunch rooms, video arcades, and telephone poles.”

So go on then…
