Reading a Newspaper at the Gym

It really annoys me when I see people at the gym reading newspapers. Even when my hands are perfectly acclimatized, I still get ink on my fingers. So Sweaty McWorkout over their on the Bike must have that paper melting all over him, and thus melting all over the bike. I am by no means a germaphobe. But is that fun for him, sweating all over a newspaper? Seriously, I think its weird.

PS. Couldn't find a picture of newspaper cardio people, but this one is just as bizarre.
