Steve Jobs And The Journal’s Frightful Ad Placement

By Ryan Tate on September 12, 2009 at 5:57 AM

Steve Jobs “appeared thin and spoke with a scratchy voice” on his return from medical leave, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Apparently we had no idea!

We’re guessing that whoever arranged to place an ad for Halloween skeletons next to a picture of Apple’s famously a gaunt CEO (click above image to enlarge) is already fired, or perhaps just severely spanked. Still, good luck getting Jobs to return to speak at your next lucrative D conference, Journal guys! (Maybe if you promise him it won’t be a bare-bones affair…)
