Due to a fundraising gap, starting Oct. 1 the site will be accepting ads for anything save for “tobacco, alcohol, weapons, illegal drugs, pornography/adult content, gambling and political lobbying,” notes Variety.
Drawing “strict review” will be ads for “R-rated movies, prescription drugs and ‘controversial topics’.” Controversial topics? Must be R-rated moves about prescription drugs. If Elmo starts shilling Cialis, we’re outta here.
PBS promises the ad money “will be reinvested in the television programs, educational services, Web sites and more that PBS provides.”
