There is a great debate happening over at Create Digital Music (of all places), regarding the complete failure of Google AdWords during the past week.

For those who didn’t know, the internet was ablaze in the last week (especially on Monday) with Yes on Prop 8 ads—popping up in completely inappropriate places. We too were bombarded here at LEGENDmag, and chose to remove the ads and instead promote our amazing new issue 23 instead.

The thoughtful conversation CDM embarks on is very poignant for those of us who care about independent thought!! And although it’s a little on the long side, it’s an important one.

UPDATE: The CDM site has a follow-up post talking about what Google is doing to rectify this situation… still doesn’t really ensure trust like it was before however…
