After all these years, it looks like the publishing industry is still threatened by marijuana.
- farmerbuzz 16y agoPerhaps its not that they're threatened by marijuana but disinclined to accept controversial and divisive advertising?
- wvenable 16y agoThey already accept controversial and divisive advertising. Here is an example: http://i.imgur.com/pRN0K.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pRN0K.jpg
- farmerbuzz 16y agoWow. Nevermind then!
- farmerbuzz 16y agoAlthough it looks like that is a Google ad, so maybe they didn't intend to accept it?
- scelerat 16y agoCould be they're not threatened by marijuana so much as their other advertisers. It's not difficult to imagine an account with much deeper pockets and an opposing agenda making it clear that if CN takes money from "pro-drug" advertisers, then they'll pull their own.
