Which is apparently why Alex was happy to withdraw his accusations.

So far from stealing ads from charities, they bought them some.
No. Sorry, won't let you off the hook there.

They bought a charity advertising campaign, then in their own words replaced the 'default' charity ads for Oxfam, Make Trade Fair or SOS Childrens Villages with their contextual ads (see bottom page 7/52).

So adverts that would have been shown, adverts that might have elicited donations of money to feed STARVING CHILDREN were replaced by adverts for WEIGHT WATCHERS.



So tell me all about your concern for starving children while you count your shares.
