New York agreed yesterday to stop accepting adult ads after the New York chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) threatened protests outside the magazine's offices, the Associated Press reports.

"The magazine is really prospering now and it's finally time to get out of a business that we were never comfortable being in." The pressure is part of an orchestrated campaign by NOW, which has been asking other local media to stop taking adult ads.
