Rolling Stone magazine has decided to run an ad for a new Bible in its magazine.
The ad is to run next month and will be the same one the magazine rejected as too controversial.
"We have addressed the internal miscommunications that led to the previous misstatement of company policy and apologize for any confusion it may have caused," Lisa Dallos, spokeswoman for Wenner Media, Rolling Stone's parent company, told USA Today.
The magazine first claimed the ad's "spiritual message" might turn off its pot-smoking audience.
The ad never mentions God, but does refer to the Bible as "real truth."
"We're frankly thrilled that Rolling Stone has decided to accept our ad," Paul Caminiti, Zondervan's president of Bible publishing, told USA Today.
Amazing how public pressure and a little media exposure helps on these libs act the right way.

LOL! Newsmax is funny.
After a big "whoops, we really botched the PR on that," the ad comes in...
Most magazines are happy for anyone willing to advertise in their nearing-extinction medium.
I think the policy was originally to stop ads from all the loonie cults in the 60s and 70s.
It obviusly needed rethinking, or some employee needed it splain'd to him/her/it.

Which Bible?
A good one like the KJV or one of them "fluffy translations", that wouldn't DARE call God a "he" for fear of hurting the feelings of "womyn"?
As an aside, talk about CORPORATE talk here: "We have addressed the internal miscommunications that led to the previous misstatement of company policy and apologize for any confusion it may have caused," Lisa Dallos, spokeswoman for Wenner Media, Rolling Stone's parent company, told USA Today.
Most corporate executives main talent: Saying something without really "saying anything" at all.
I don't know about pot smoking crowd. The only place I see it is at the beauty parlor. Of course, I don't hang out in bars. LOL
Public pressure or not, I'll give Rolling Stone magazine credit for apologizing and recinding it's ban.
Based on this article, I suspect it's the TNIV.

Right! A little light on the cockroaches causes them to scurry under the refrigerator and hide.

Good thing we got that cleared up. |
I'm old enough to get that.
Kinda sad.
As my kids would say...'brilliant!'
Huh? So, person A's point of view is 'the right way'?
Words of wisdom from the professor:
I would rather be a son of a bitch than a son of a BUSH!
Hope you're not a fan. ;O)
