[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Rejection of a Bible ad. Par for the course in Secular-land?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Are they worried that people who read the bible will reject their magazine?

Christians and Lions PING!

Rolling Stone has the right to reject anything thaey want.

Move on.....(not .org)

[Always Right]

I guess they should have poised it as an ad for pedophilia.

It's beyond decadence-it's evil.
It's conduct like this that pushed me from agnosticism to Christianity. It's the Eighth Proof of the existence of God.

Anybody know the difference between the TNIV and the NIV?

I'm familiar with the NIV, but not the newer one.

You are absolutely correct. Par for the course. Yet let's be clear; they have every right not to accept advertising that wouldn't (in their view) have a positive impact on their readership.

By the same token, I wouldn't expect American Rifelman to accept an ad for Bowling for Columbine.

Rolling Stone is not the place to reach a young demographic. My aunts and uncles read it!

BTTT

As if the world expected RS mag to be tolerant. Only conservatives must be tolerant. And yet, some cannot see the double-standard. Sheep...

You mean this Ken Brownridge ? Wenner Media's General Manager (and sensitivity trainer) Kent Brownridge spoke for all the mags when he gave this self-effacing though still highly offensive quote: "For a celebrity weekly, this is our tsunami... I can't think of anything bigger than the king and queen of Hollywood breaking up." Right. Brad and Jen are so like the tsunami. For instance, whenever we read about either, we begin to cry uncontrollably, think about killing ourselves, and mutter that god does not exist. It's Blooper Time [NYP] Brownridge's penchant for ornery straight-shooting comes in part from his days of working on political campaigns for Democrats like George McGovern. It was after one such loss in a California primary 26 years ago that Brownridge agreed to Jann Wenner's offer to come work at Rolling Stone. "I was starting to feel like a political migrant worker," he says. Hmmm. Looks like Brownridge has always had a way with squirm-inducing metaphors. http://www.nypost.com/seven/01122005/business/kelly.htm http://www.gawker.com/news/media/us-weekly/index.php

And on an OT note that will totally distract from the post Ive just written above, here's a pic on gawker.com of Ann Coulter talking to Tim Robbins at the Wenner Media Holiday party What a pairing.

Outside of doctor/dentist offices, Does anyone even subscribe to this rag anymore?

[television is just wrong]

Hmmm, what are they planning on doing in the afterlife??

Rolling Stone was a perfect fit for the group we want to reach," Lockhart explained to USA Today.

Huh? The only people who read Rolling Stone are 50+, as far as I know.

It is completely within their rights to not publish this ad. Did anyone here, or anywhere for that matter, ever have any illusions that the editors of Rolling Stones were closet Chiristians. As far as some comments that say that this should be exposed and made public...

It is exposed and public, as evidenced by this article. If you want your friends to know, tell them, but making a huge deal of this, or trying to get the MSM to make it a big story. None of that accomplishes anything useful.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

Kent Brownridge, the general manager for Rolling Stone's parent company Wenner Media, said the Zondervan ad "doesn't quite feel right in the magazine."

Gee it is quite different than the usual booze and sex ads.

Hasn't everyone heard? Cursing and rock music is in. "Spiritual intrique" is out. </sarc>
