Polo: the new NOLA
I just clicked on a NYTimes heading story about getting aid, any aid, into New Orleans.
What pops up first? A full page ad for Polo. Can't read the story. Big ad. Ralph Lauren. Sultry 20-something model in too much eyeliner. Very expensive some kind of clothes. Skin. All money. White person. Purrrr.
Then it finally times out and goes to the story about rats eating black people and them eating nothing. Eating their nothing with a side of no water.
Nice. You'd think the NYT - well, anyone, really - might think about where they run their jillion dollar Polo ads.
Honestly.
