Today In Contextual Advertising: Atheism Article Sells “Holy Health!”

by Robert Quigley | 9:53 am, November 5th, 2009

The advertisement appears to have since disappeared from this Daily Beast article on more aggressive recruitment campaigns by atheists, but we have it preserved for posterity.

The story of embattled political soon-to-be ex-wife Jenny Sanford is one of the rarest incidents in American politics: a story that both sides can spin to fit their narrative. Sanford went on a media tour to promote her new book, Staying True, that hit all three major cable news channels and the unofficial fourth power in journalism, The Daily Show.
