Sad, but true.

The ASPCA has been running an ad recently with Sarah McLachlan. She does a voice-over about the ASPCA and the animals they rescue (she appears briefly on camera, but most of it is a voice-over), and the background music is her song "Angel" ... and there is clip after clip of dogs and cats that have been rescued (some of them are injured). Right at the end, there's a cute kitty cat batting at the camera with one paw. It's a tear-jerker and it makes me wonder how ANYONE could mistreat or abandon a pet that depends on you for everything.

I think it's high time the White House had a First Cat again.

Found these updates about the newpaper sell out on the New York Times web site. Cover all the papers. While I have yet to see what the regular press run is for any of the papers, the number of extras is just about amazing 75-100,000. The NYT printed 35% more on its regular first run!

Sad ad, but the use of that song annoys me because it's about HEROIN ADDICTION!

Anyway, the ads that made me cry every time I saw them were the Pedigree adoption drive ads with the various dogs that had been abandoned.
