| quote: | The TTC has rejected a bid by the Ashley Madison Agency, a website that promotes adultery, to wrap a streetcar with ads promoting the controversial site, along with the slogan, “Life is short. Have an affair.”
The commission’s advertising review committee, comprising six city councillors, made the decision this afternoon after being made aware of the potential ad campaign by the TTC’s ad agency, CBS Outdoor.
“This is an issue about community standards,” said Councillor Joe Mihevc, a TTC commissioner. “We are, at the end of the day, a public body and the citizens of Toronto own the TTC. In this case, the reason why I voted not to accept the ads was because they violate a basic community standard around cheating.”
“When it’s a core fundamental value around cheating and lying, we’re not going to let those kind of ads go on.” |

I don't think this site should be banned, because govt has no business regulating what goes on between two consenting adults that's not harming each other but gah!
Whatever happened to to loyalty, honesty and integrity in a relationship?
Sad state of our society when sites like these exist, and they make lots of money off of it. |

lol Right. Not in this day and age. I'm sadly finding that most people these days could give two s about those ideals. |
