Is the Boston Globe Now a Comic Book?

That's all I could think when I saw this blatant business promotion featured as a FRONT-PAGE NEWS STORY!!!

It's a CARTOON!!!


"He just turned 10. Sipping a root beer in the Sullivan family's modest raised ranch in a quiet New Bedford neighborhood, Quinn seemed like any other fourth-grader, albeit one who wears a buckskin shirt and neck beads. He likes riding bikes, playing ball, and watching "Family Guy" with his friends; he has to do his homework and not talk back; for his birthday on March 26, he got a six-barreled toy dart gun, a squirt pistol, and a bowlful of Smarties, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Swedish Fish. But put a guitar in his hands and he can channel Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix or Duane Allman."

Globe selling a product or a career here?

I guess the kid doesn't have to worry about
obesity , huh?
