Ad Notes
By Suzanne Vrancia
Wall Street Journal
TO TOAST OR NOT: Commercial Alert, a public-advocacy group affiliated with Ralph Nader, is urging the liquor industry to refrain from carrying out a proposed $20 million to $40 million TV-ad campaign. “It is time to hold ad-agency and liquor executives personally responsible for the damage that their ads do to families and children,” said Gary Ruskin, the group’s director. The group also is prodding TV stations not to air the ads.
