Toys ad equated to newspaper 'garbage'
Rebecca Taylor
I am writing in regards to the advertisement for Toys Topless found on the back of The Olympian. I really don't appreciate seeing this kind of garbage in our newspaper. I feel it brings us lower and makes us look very trashy.
Is this really the kind of image you want to put forth for us as college students? By advertising these kinds of things in such a public display, you're trashing our reputations. What if our children get a hold of the newspaper, curious to see what's in it and finds that advertisement, for example?
I am requesting that you remove this advertisement and refrain from putting it or anything like it in future editions. We need to keep our dignity in tact as a college and even more important, a future university. Thank you for your time.
