The magazine first claimed the ad's "spiritual message" might turn off its pot-smoking audience.
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.

Amazing how public pressure and a little media exposure helps on these libs act the right way. 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

LOL... I love these people. They can't just say "we did what we want and feel like, didn't expect people to be so mad, but since they are, we take it back" No.. its an "error" in communication. A policy that was mistaken or misunderstood. Nothing to see here... stop looking now. Go back to what you were doing... It was an honest mistake... honestly.
To: paltz
Public pressure or not, I'll give Rolling Stone magazine credit for apologizing and recinding it's ban.

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

Wondering who this "Irwin Corey" character is, I went to his website. After fighting off its persistent attempts to install some "MediaTickets" thing on my computer, I saw this:
