Why There Is An "Advertsing" Label

We've mentioned them recently (& may even go look for the links, if not, whatever, scroll down or don't) but here are more of Donald T. Sterling's hideous adverts, at Franklin Avenue, via MoJo. It's difficult to make a total buffoon (not in a good way) like The First Donald (Trump the birther) look good, but our local boy has done it!

The L.A Times may (or not, check this story) have taken some of Mr. Sterling's slumlord money to run this last Sunday:
A "gold colored plaque." Shit.
U.C.L.A.'s reaction? Rejection:
UCLA issued the following public statement concerning a recent $3 million pledge to the university by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who today was banned for life from the NBA following racist statements he made on audio recordings.

Mr. Sterling’s divisive and hurtful comments demonstrate that he does not share UCLA’s core values as a public university that fosters diversity, inclusion and respect. For those reasons, UCLA has decided to return Mr. Sterling’s initial payment of $425,000 and reject the remainder of a $3 million pledge he recently made to support basic kidney research by the UCLA Division of Nephrology. UCLA has received numerous inquiries about an advertisement in Sunday’s Los Angeles Times falsely suggesting that it was UCLA publicly thanking him for the gift. The ad was placed by Mr. Sterling, not the university.
(Our emphasis.) Lynched by the über-liberal Westside Medical Establishment just for creating an entirely false impression.
