Subject: RE: BS: News of Note (was 'I Read it . . .')
I listen to a Sunday morning organic gardening program, and there are usually local garden center ads and the occasional Scott's Turf Builder (nasty stuff) ads inserted by folks hoping that non-discriminating listeners might think this is sanctioned (the program host slams these products any time the ad plays--advertisers are told they can't run these non-organic ads without comment). And then comes an your face loud, bossy church ad telling you how to celebrate the most famous and powerful man in history. . . yup. You got it, Mr. J. The ad is placed in such a way that it castigates anyone who is listening to a gardening show instead of sitting in a christian church.

I usually turn off the program about that point anyway. Too bad they lose listeners with that ad. It would be nice if the station would refuse that one.
