Compare it to a newspaper. If the Sun or Herald was asked to run an ad it expected might piss off its customers, do you think it runs?

I know the difference, but really, thank you for the clarification (I may have started to unintentionally grey the area between the two). I wish a billboard like this would go up - not because I agree with it, but its a billboard that generates discussion about the topic and its not a typical billboard you see everyday.
I'm all about free speech. Pattison is obviously looking at a damage control issue here, unfortunately. I'm not a huge Greenpeace fan, but I do hope they find another outlet who will take the message and post it up.
