Adrants reader Ted Karlen thought we’d be interested in an example of yet another unfortunate ad/context placement. And he was right. He tells us, “Starting on page 72 of the October issue of Stuff magazine, there’s an ad for Southern Comfort liquor. The first part offers a chance to win a free trip to the company’s “Voodoo Music Fest,” in, um, New Orleans on October 29-30. Worse, the next page introduces Southern Comfort’s now-incredibly inappropriate slogan: “Born in New Orleans (where anything can happen).” Oops.

There are things about a life that are worth keeping to yourself even with people you trust completely, not because there is anything shameful in them, but because privacy is one of the few forms of ownership nobody can take from you once you have given it away.
