Metro Times is similar to many of the alternative newspapers in major
metropolitan areas in the US (Chicago reader, Baltimore/Washington
Citypapers, Seattle Stranger, Village Voice in NYC, etc). In most of these,
you don't get the same kind of censorship you'd find in mass print. These
papers are generally free, paid for by advertising. Columns like Savage
Love, News of the Weird, etc are nationally syndicated in almost all of
them. The rest of the pages are packed with local cooler-than-thou art
reviews and some pretty risque ads. One of my recent favorites was an ad
for
vaginal hair removal with a picture of someone mowing a lawn. The caption
read, "tired of mowing your bush"? At any rate, this type of media is not
limited to Detroit. These papers are generally your best resources for
getting to know a US city if you're new or visiting, or if you're looking
for an inexpensive penis enlargement scheme. :)
