Rolling Stone protecting readers from obsenity!

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/01/20/rol....ap/index.html

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan (AP) -- -- Rolling Stone magazine declined to run an advertisement for a new translation of the Bible aimed at young people, the nation's largest Bible publisher said Wednesday.

Funny, they don't seem to have a problem running ads for the moral polar opposite.

The explaination is pretty clear. The publisher says: "we are not in the business of publishing advertising for religious messages."

It's their magazine, their right, their choice. End story.

I was thinking more on the lines of Larry Flynt.
