Re: Personal classified ad—”KGB. Men deserve to die!…”, March 15
How did this get in the paper? Since when is it OK to state in print that any group deserves to die? What’s next? Full-page, four-colour ads for the Heritage Front?
Your production manager told me that The Eyeopener does not edit ads unless there is something “seriously wrong” with them. This ad should have set off some alarms in the (very) dim recesses of your staff’s consciousness (or conscience!)
Too bad. I’ve often thought The Eyeopener was goofy, but now I realize it’s also dumb and insensitive.
