ClickZ Executrix Ed. at it Again
She's on her high horse again. Fresh from her summarily-rebuked, Gator-defending email to the online-ad-industry-enfant-terribles-du-jour, AdBumb, Rebecca Lieb opines (and I paraphrase slightly out of context) that if Coke, Nestle, P&G, and other "allegedly unethical companies" had a hard time finding places to advertise, "there probably wouldn't be society as we know it."
While I'm on the subject of Lieb's column, there is a factual error in it. She refers to "Google's list of allegedly unethical companies." That list is in fact an Open Directory category overseen by one Robin Lionheart with input from subcategory editors like Bruce Richardson. Rebecca, if you mean to dispute the viewpoints of these self-appointed Masters of Ontology, look out! You don't know who you're up against! (From Lionheart's bio: "I bought a PlayStation video game console just to be able to play Bust A Move: Dance & Rhythm Action.")
These Kings of Kapricious Kategorization have managed to maintain subcategories for Yahoo's alleged lack of ethics while leaving AOL out entirely. DO NOT CROSS THESE PEOPLE.
