Dear LA Times,
Why is Dear Abby in the Calendar section? I was just thumbing through Thursday's special weekend edition when, snugly nudged between listings for "The Cookout" and "The Princess Diaries 2," I stumbled onto a letter from a woman in Ohio detailing how she and her husband got The Clap from a jacuzzi on their honeymoon. Before I could find what time "Superbabies 2" was playing, I found myself reading about a woman who had put on 40 lbs. and had taken to picking at her face to the point of permanent scarring. Seriously, is the weekend entertainment section the most appropriate place for this? I'm no seasoned newspaper man, but it seems like an odd choice to me.
