Boycott Papers that Run Pro-Adultery Ads

By Amy Uelmen

Compliments of one of the free dailies, “Metro,” here in New York City we are being subjected to full back page ads for a pro-adultery website (which I will not mention in order not to further publicize their business; nor will I link to the ad in order not to further publicize the paper).  Here’s a link on the Toronto Transit system’s rejection of a bid for the website’s ads (bravo!).  I have decided to boycott “Metro” – and encourage all of my friends to do the same – for their lack of good judgment in running the ad.  In our current information superhighway world, any thoughts about how to spread the word about a boycott without too much collateral effect of providing additional publicity for the slimy product?

Do you consider these adds to be worse, about the same, or better than the adds for prostitutes that fill up the back of most free weekly papers? I don't really have a clear view on the issue (they might be worse in that maybe people who would never hire a prostitute would be tempted by these other adds, but I don't really know.)
