HEMPFEST AD ON BUS CRITICIZED BY SOME
An advertisement featuring a marijuana leaf that's on the sides of
some Intercity Transit buses has drawn complaints from two residents
and one of IT's own bus operators.
The complaints concern the content of the Olympia Hempfest ad, which
includes the image of a marijuana leaf and the phrase "Equal Rights
are for Everybody," said Meg Kester, an agency spokeswoman. The
Olympian also received a complaint about the advertisements.
Intercity Transit forbids advertising on its buses that is obscene,
defamatory, racist, sexist or "that is directed at producing imminent
lawless action and is likely to produce such action." The agency does
not endorse any issue or product advertised on its buses, the
exception being self-promotion, according to its policies. All
political and issue advertisements identify who sponsored them.
