Anti-Semitic Ad Touches a Nerve

I am not the slightest bit surprised to learn there are still bigots in the world. I am surprised, however, to find them legitimized at Adweek.

Adweek [Shoptalk, Jan. 7] seems to think Mr. Ysselstein’s anti-semitic ad didn’t get enough exposure in southern Ontario, so the magazine included Mr. Ysselstein’s pathetic whining about being misunderstood. I guess Adweek believes everybody deserves a chance to air their side of the story.

Still, that doesn’t explain the cartoonish photograph of a Jew wearing a prayer shawl.
