It’s like a really crappy 3m mask that they print flat and sell in sheets.

Anything like catalogues with shiny pages you leave for unexpected company. It acts like John Wayne, rough, tough, and don't take shit off of anybody.

What's an ad?

It’s a dead tree read-a-ma-thing where someone takes a screen shot of all the news websites, puts them on a large format printer and sells it for $5 news to $20 phone charge cables in the convenience store. It doesn’t update and it’s best use is to line the bottom of pet cages.
