February 20th, 2009 · No Comments · adsense/adwords, dennis basso, fur advertisers, google, international herald tribune, mink, new york times, raccoon

The International Herald Tribune, “global edition of the New York Times”, needs to sell fur to survive. Poor old New York Times and IHT. If not for the fur farms of Denmark, the United States and China, you fine text-based business models would crumble. I’m a writer, and I think 21st-Century newspapers relying on the [...]

In this post on SuperVegan, this fur-bearing vegan site praises a video by Joshua Katcher where he educates fur-wearers in Soho about the evils behind their fur garments. Of course, in the post itself, yet more mink and fox fur ads show up, courtesy of SuperVegan’s dependence on Google AdSense revenue. It’s interesting to read [...]

GoodSearch.com Advertises Fur Too

February 15th, 2009 · 4 Comments · adsense/adwords, fur advertisers, goodsearch.com, google, massive hypocrisy, yahoo

Several correspondents have said they would use GoodSearch (powered by Yahoo! Search) instead of Google. Unfortunately, GoodSearch.com is advertising fur too, and thus you’d not be supporting a fur-free search engine by using GoodSearch.com or Yahoo!Search. In fact, it is possible that some or many of the fur ads you will find on GoodSearch.com are [...]
