NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — The Obama campaign yesterday morning sent out a release claiming that one of the candidate's energy-policy ads, "Priorities," would run on Gas Station TV. But it wasn't long before GSTV CEO David Leider tried to set the record straight, insisting that the company never received an insertion order and had decided not to accept political advertising of any nature, in keeping with company policy not to run "polarizing" material.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has reportedly tried to buy ad space in a Canadian newspaper called Portage la Prairie Daily Graphic for an ad that compared the beheading of a young Canadian man to the slaughter of animals.
The ad, which was not published by the paper (but can be found on Peta’s Web site), read, “His struggles and cries are ignored… the man with the knife shows no emotion… the victim is slaughtered and his head cut off… his flesh is eaten.”
According to Canadian news sources, Tara Steel, the newspaper’s city editor, did not comment on why the daily decided not to run the ad, other than to say it just wasn’t something they wanted to do.
We reported recently that Greyhound pulled the remaining ads from the campaign you see above following the man’s murder. He was stabbed to death and then decapitated by a passenger sitting next to him. Learn more about that, here.
There’s really no need to comment on Peta’s exploitative measure, except to say…too soon. See the ad they tried to run, after the jump.

MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — The networks seem to have settled nicely on creating summer reality shows that are the TV equivalent of escapist movies in the Cineplex or pop hits on the radio — easy, breezy and yes, occasionally cheesy. But with the possible exception of ABC's "Wipeout," that hasn't led to runaway hit so far this year.
