Condom ad: OK. Bible ad: banned

Isn’t that special: Rolling Stone has decided not to carry Zondervan‘s ad for its new modern English translation of the Bible, Today’s New International Version. The magazine apparently has an “unwritten policy against accepting ads containing religious messages”, although ads for High Times, Trojan condoms, and every brand of alcohol under the sun are OK. After seeing CBS and NBC ban the United Church of Christ commercial, it’s very clear that at least some mainstream media outlets are rejecting ads solely on their lack of content that would be objectionable to the majority of Americans.
