R-rated ads spicing up WaPo’s kids section
 A good place not to run Showtime’s blood-spattered Dexter ads: in a special newspaper section for children. The Washington Post ignored that rule, and got an earful from its ombudsman. Then again, these kids have seen it all, having previously enjoyed a body lotion ad with a naked woman in the same section. And they say newspapers can’t sell ads anymore.

Really Melinda Gates and Warren Buffet are on the board of the Washington Post. Or they were. Can't they somehow figure out how to fund an educational page without ads?
Don't we have libraries and things with books or even DVDs for kids to look at war torn places and people who are not ashamed of nakedness in their culture as an educational experience.
