Alt-Weekly Columnist Asks: What's Wrong With Sex Ads?new
Dallas Observer's Eric Celeste understands why the local daily rejects them, but he's not sure why his own paper is cutting back. Publisher Alison Draper says it's because sex ads are "a managerial nightmare." And Editor Julie Lyons, who thinks the ads are "disgusting," calls Draper's decision to scale them back "the most courageous thing I've ever seen a publisher do."

Seeking Adult Ads, Dailies Encroach on Alternative Turfnew
"It's a newspaper advertising category that for decades has been owned lock, stock, and fur-lined handcuffs by alternative papers," reports Editor & Publisher's Mark Fitzgerald. "But now increasing numbers of daily newspapers are coyly succumbing to the many seductions of sex ads."
Don't provide a sales rep, jack up the rates, slap restrictions on the ads -- despite these barriers, adult sections in most alternatives still grow like kudzu. Daily papers are beginning to take notice.

Dan Savage Sets Awards Lunch on Fire
In one of the
most memorable events ever at an
AAN convention, Dan Savage
electrified the seventh annual Alternative
Newsweekly Awards affair with a
high-voltage performance that included
nearly naked waiters and publishers
shedding trousers. One attendee
called it "the best hour of
comedy I've ever seen." Savage's
fatwah: every first-place winner had to
drink a shot and shed an article of
clothing. Two-thirds of the way in,
he admitted, "I can't believe you are
all playing along. The power of one
pushy fag in AAN -- it's amazing."
