Some people don't have a conscience while others seem to be more concerned about the fate of a distant rain forest than their neighbor.

Caring about a tree is pretty safe when compared to caring about another human being. Some people are too afraid to be hurt.

Tis true, but I am not sure this has to do with Advertising Adultery, the topic of this thread Dillo?

if you've ever been the victim of adultery (yes, I use the word "victim" deliberately), you wouldn't say "it doesn't hurt anyone"... it certainly does... especially if children are involved.

I believe that, whenever an affair causes a divorce that the "third party" should also be held accountable (especially in the $$$$ department). Will it be enforceable, not very. Will it stop adultery, no.... but I'm sure it will give some people a reason to think twice about it. That's just my opinion, I'm sure you can shoot it full of holes.

I think we can care about all these issues. I agree this company is being callous to human suffering. I think speaking out against it is good for our society. I also think trying to protect our enviroment is also good.

I think it's a little shocking that a company would actually advertise facilitating affairs. (Where else but in California, btw. That would never fly here in the Midwest, or in the South.)

But in the final analysis, I tend to agree with the company's Darren Morgenstern:

"You can't possibly convince somebody to act outside their moral code if that's just not what they are looking for," said Morgenstern.

Don't blame Oreo cookies and Krispy Kreme donuts if you're fat.

And don't blame Marlboros if you're hooked on cigarettes.

Take some responsibility for your life. Nobody's forcing anyone to have an affair. And this is a capitalist country, with a free market.
