I feel handing cards out to friends and family is the same as telling them. I was talking more along the lines of handing them out to strangers when I meant it was rude and tacky. I have heard of some colleges that do have ads in their paper, the regular newspapers really do not bother me because, 1) I have always seen them in there and 2) it does not specifically target one group of people.
