Newspaper ad placements raise ire

Don Day August 27th, 2007

Earlier today Cory apologized for a Google AdSense display ad appearing here on LR. These two items on Romensko today should make all of us in Lost Remote Nation feel better (since someone other than a machine has control of the following ad placements)

- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution put an ad for Showtime’s “Weeds” and “Californication” next to the “News for Kids” section last week
- Charlotte’s News & Observer has readers fired up over the placement of a cigarette ad next to a “back to school” section

    My favorite is still the luggage ad, served up by Google on a story of a man who stuffed his victims’ body parts into suitcases.
