tracker7Thanksgiving tomorrow. The week at work hasn't been as bad as I expected, but tonight looks like it'll be very busy - Thursday and Friday papers, plus a batch of Saturday and Sunday feature sections. I've seen a lot of this stuff already cleared, but very likely not enough for my liking.
Got our first illegal house ad yesterday. Because of fair housing regulations, we can't put any reference to a specific religious holiday in ads for houses, apartments, condos, anything. Last year, there was lots of whining and venom about dem filthy libruls at the gol-dang Hurled-Leader and their war on Christmas over this, but the mouth-breathers who were yowling about it couldn't, apparently, be bothered to actually look at the paper, or they would have seen a great many Christmas (and one or two Hanukkah and Kwanzaa) messages in ads for cars, small shops, and various and sundry others.
Have watched lots of X-Files episodes on the SF Channel this week. I'd forgotten how easy on the eyes Gillian Anderson was.
Pahrump, Nevada, has passed a law banning the display of flags besides the US, unless the US flag is displayed above the other. I have undecorated BDUs. I have Austrian flag patches. But that's a hell of a drive, and I expect the ACLU will do a much better job of hammering this than I would.

Re: housing ads
Date: 2006-11-22 09:00 pm (UTC)It's not frustrating - it doesn't bother me in the slightest if someone wants to wish 140000 people (average daily circulation) whatever holiday greeting comes to mind. The problem lies with a very small handful of advertisers (and certain members of the general public) that don't understand that this is not a company policy issue. It's a legal matter, and out of our hands.
