Why is the Ad Council giving free ad time to a terrorist-related organization?

Anyone else notice this? Recently, I've heard some public service announcements (PSAs) on the radio for the "Humane Seal" campaign. This is not associated with the Humane Society (which is also becoming radicalized), but with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). PCRM, is, of course, an arm of PeTA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), which has in the past funded the terrorist group ALF (Animal Liberation Front).

My question is: why is the Ad Council giving free air time to these creeps? Especially given the somewhat misleading nature of this particular "campaign."

An aside: PCRM is not listed on the Ad Council's web site's list of associated organizations.

Any ideas? Is the Ad Council now just another radical lefty group?

Let me guess a quasi- government agency.

Lets just ban government.
