Sad

For the record, we don't slam magazines for taking advertisements. That includes ads for cigarettes or alcohol. So we're not slamming The Progressive for the advertisement which continues to appear at their website.

sad

But we will slam the useless Change.org for the ad and we will note how very sad and non-left it is to attempt to harass the Discovery Channel into dropping Sarah Palin for a reality show. Censorship, for those who have forgotten, is supposed to be a tool of the right-wing.

While we won't slam The Progressive for taking the ad, we will note that they are selling sex, they are using sex to sell their own magazines. That's what the sexualized drawing of Palin on a previous Progressive cover was all about and it's apparently the most arresting image they could find to market their magazine. Even on the left, apparently, Sarah Palin is media gold. Again, sad.
