Well, this is annoying as hell. Especially coming from an agency that was happy to run an ad for The Black Pages of New England, which offended me enough to write to them a couple of years ago (they didn't explain that decision very well either... I guess blatant racism is "reputable behavior" according to them). I am not one to slam on the MBTA often, as I think they generally do a heroic job, but the people in charge of their advertising department seem more bigoted than I can think comfortably about. Bleh!
In other news, I am becoming glumly convinced that Orson Scott Card is going to kill Alvin in The Crystal City (next and last of the Alvin Maker books, as I'm now halfway through book 5). Had I forgotten just how Mormon the guy is? Have I forgotten what he did to Ender? But it's not like I'll be able to stop reading while I'm ahead, nooooooo. And, there, now those of you who've read the series can go crazy trying not to tell me what happens. :)
