Linux Journal Publishes 7-Year-Old Sexist Ad
Linux Journal published a BLATANTLY SEXIST (albeit vaguely funny) ad in its August, 2007, which belong, according to the site feministing.com, in the “Ads That Really Suck” file. Worse, the ad is a repeat of another ad that appeared seven years ago, also in Linux Journal. The controversy generated back then prompted the magazine to apologize and promise to never run it again. All of which raises two questions: 1) why would you want to read a magazine that breaks its promises; and 2) why would you want to buy servers from a company that “clearly hasn’t had a new idea in seven years?”
