 Here is Dan Gross, embattled by commenters on all sides, braving the public eye to report on a controversy about an advertisment on 610 WIP (emphasis mine):
If you’re looking to cheat on your spouse, you won’t get any help from sports-radio 610 WIP. It took only two days for the station to yank ads from the Ashley Madison Agency, a Web site designed to help married people discreetly cheat, from its airwaves.
“As soon as I became aware of the ads, I made the decision to immediately pull them,” says Marc Rayfield, senior VP and market manager for CBS Radio. “They were running in both New York and Los Angeles, but my own sense of judgment told me that they do not belong on the radio in Philadelphia,” Rayfield tells us.
Site president Noel Biderman voices the radio spots in which he says he’s speaking to those who are “living a life of quiet despair.” As Pachelbel’s “Canon” plays in the background, Biderman boasts that in its seven years, Ashley Madison has connected millions of people for “risk-free” affairs, and guarantees success.
Yeah, I know what you’re saying: What’s too lowbrow for 610 WIP? And since when would ‘IP care about the sanctity of marriage?! It’s not really all that strange; even the mafia has an honor code.
