A short time ago The Other Press refused an ad deal @ worth $300 from our national ad co-operative Campus Plus. The ad was from the South African company ‘‘De Beers’’ urging us to spend two months salary on a diamond because ‘‘What’s more important than the woman you love.’’ We found this combination of sexist advertising and racist ecconomics hard to take and harder to promote in a supposidly ‘‘aware’’ student newspaper.

The ad did serve, however, to raise the awareness on staff of how much of a rip-off diamonds are...especially considering that the only reason we buy them is to satisfy a societal need that didn’t exist before De Beers came out with the most successful advertising snowjob in the world with the phrase ‘‘A diamond is forever’ in the 1890’s. By printing the parody of the origional ad we want to do our part in the debunking of the diamond myth.
