And that’s a good investment?
Cerberus buys the yellow pages for $950M. Why? These are the folks that own Freedom Group.

WTF? My Yellow pages goes from my doorstep right to the recycling bin. I can look up numbers faster on my phone, let alone my desktop than flipping through those relics.
I know I’m not alone.

I’m thinking targets…

Lumpy, those were White Pages. You pay to be in the Yellow Pages. You got them both, of course, for free.
I sense a little hipster triumphalism from people who debate which powder to use in a 1936 rifle. Just saying.
