As touchy and monstrous as it is everyone has heard of the recent shootings at Virginia Tech. Sadly what they have not heard was that the New York Times and Inside Edition are trying to make a profit on it. In recent news Ken Wheaton of AdAge pointed out that both the New York Times and Inside Edition have purchased sponsored links on the search term "Virginia Shooting" with Google. There is also evidence that Time Magazine and The Washington Post have bought ads too, on Yahoo and Google. Personally this is border line wrong. How would the families of the victims feel if they knew about this? Would they approve? When does business cross the line?
What do YOU think?
