The Wire: Read Between The Lines



In the above ad, the title of the series is spelled out in newspaper clippings. But unlike many such ads, the clippings aren't written in fake gibberish text, nor do they consist entirely of "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." Instead, each article is actually a piece specially written for the show, from the show's version of the Baltimore Sun — a clever nod to the fact that The Wire's fifth season is centered in the newsroom of that very paper.
