L.L. Bean duct tape, in the travel secion?

I was catching up on this past Sundays newspaper and found the most obscure article in the Travel section. It's entitled GADGETS & GIZMOS WHAT'S OUT THERE. The featured product is L.L. Bean duct tape. Very similar to the duct tape below. Why would you ever consider featuring duct tape as a gadget in the travel section. The Courier-Journal does some weird stuff.
