Off topic Off topic: Anyone know the history of this newspaper? Skip to comments Alan Gardner Published: June 8, 2010 Updated: June 8, 2010 1 minute 4 comments Anyone know why this same newspaper has shown up in so many different TV shows?
Jesse Cline Pretty cool huh? Slate has the story here: http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/browbeat/archive/2010/06/07/the-story-behind-the-recycled-newspaper-prop.aspx More screengrabs of the paper here as well: http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/04/lol-the-reoccurring-prop-newspaper/
Jeff Stanson It’s not a real paper, but a generic-looking rag produced by a prop designer that supplies the production houses creating the programs.
Kelly Ferguson Sadly, the prop paper has a bigger Comics section than most real papers–and they’re in color. http://www.theearlhayspress.com/id6.html
Adam Casalino Who spent their time putting all these clips together? Either someone who works in TV production and knew about this–or someone with a bizarre amount of free time (and a little OCD).
