On a typical day we'd condemn genocide, unless you want to advertise

Oi! It's a long, sad tale of how the New York Times printed an eight page advertising supplement which cites the virtues of the Sudan and the Sudanese government. The same government which works overtime to slaughter non-Muslems in the south of the country. Plastic lays out the story, and some of the comments clarify how advertising supplements are sold. It's weird that US Christian religious leaders are perpetually up in arms about the "oppression of Christians" in Wyoming, but not the genocide of Christians in the Sudan. Ooops! Wait a second, those Christians in Wyoming are white, right?
