Test a Newspaper?

Just was walking back from lunch with Mallorie a few minutes ago and a guy trying to sell the Sueddeutsche Zeitung (South German Newspaper) to passersby approached us.

"Can I bother you for a moment?"
"Sure."
"Would you like to test out the Sueddeutsche for two weeks for free, absolutely no obligation?"
"No. Thank you. I read the newspaper online."
"Oh, but come on, don't you like reality? See it, touch it, smell it?" he asked, rubbing his thumb and forefinger together near his nose as if to signify the pleasure of sniffing fresh newsprint.
"Hmmm," I answered, "trees?" "the reality of dead trees?"

He was quiet.

We walked away.
