Now--that is fine and outstanding. Next--pull your ads from the urinal--you don't need them.

Hopefully their agreement to advertise includes massive step down pricing as circulation numbers plummet.

Good to see there are still a few good Americans out there.

Kudos to this car dealer. Piss on the AJC.

[Son Of The Godfather]

Awesome, but I hope they didn't run the full-page as in the same rag!

[Coop]

Very nice. :-)

Luckovich is an ass. I hope he chokes on that damned cartoon of his.

[OB1kNOb]

Good for RBM. I anticipate lower ad revenues in the ALC's future.

[BelegStrongbow]

I hear that. My own paper continuously prints Tom(?) Toles and if there is a nastier, more contemptible, less credible cartoonist out there, well, that would be pointless as Toles certainly breaks the mold. Getting worse would be, oh I don't know, earrings on a pig.

Excellent. Stick it to the libs at the paper, generate goodwill, and hit your target demographic. [insert Guiness Stout "brilliant"]

pull your ads from the urinal--you don't need them.

They have a contract and have to pay for the ad space whether or not they use it. Probably will not renew their contract however.

I just called them and told them how proud I was of them to place this ad in the AJC. I suggest we all do that. The receptionist could not have been nicer and very appreciative of my words.

HOOO-AH!

The Press has NOT caught on yet--they think this is still late 60's, early 70'as, and they can dictate what Americans think.

[RedRover]

Awesome. Thanks for posting!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Not only is he an ass, his cartoons are crudely drawn crap. At least left-wing cartoonists Stahl, Horsey, and Benson have artistic skills. Luchovic draws like a kindergartener.

[BamaAndy]

Understand--what a great job they did here!

[TNCMAXQ]

So glad to see the other side speak up. When these "satirists" to villify the US when horrific, unspeakable torture goes on in North Korea and elsewhere, it makes me sick.

I called them, told them I was in San Diego but had seen the ad and that I was thrilled with the way they chose to honor their contract.

Thanks for posting this!

[Toddsterpatriot]

Brilliant!
