Adblogger Gets Death Threats etc. Over Human Rights Ads posted on Her Site
Posted in: UncategorizedOur colleague and friend Ask Dabitch Wappling, who writes commentary on the 43,000 ads she hosts on commercial-archive (Adland) told us yesterday that she’s been receiving death threats and serious trolling attacks from pro-Chinese Web junkies.
The ads in question were produced for the Red Cross of Sweden, and depict images of human rights violations by Nepalese armed forces. Accompanying the images are the logos used for the 2008 Beijing Olympic games. For instance, the track and field (running) logo is set in the corner of an image of a man running from armed forces during what appears to be a protest.
Much more, including links to the images, after the jump.
function() {
links = document.getElementsByTagName(‘a’);
query = ‘?’;
for(var i = 0; i = 0) {
query += ‘url’ + i + ‘=’ + encodeURIComponent(links[i].href) + ‘&’;
}
}
document.write(”);
})();
