Raise your hand
If you also woke up to hearing the following on NPR this morning and subsequently threw up in your mouth and once you recovered turned the radio off:
Marketplace is supported by Monsanto, committed to sustainable
agriculture, creating hybrid and biotech seeds designed to increase
crop yields and conserve natural resources. Learn more at

Sorry NPR, we're no longer friends. I am appalled, dismayed, angry, hurt, frustrated, disappointed, flabbergasted and let down. I guess maybe I placed you a little too highly up on a pedestal. Because you have a long way to fall when you do something this low. There are so very many things wrong with this.
(Evidently this little 12-second ad has been playing on NPR for maybe a few weeks now but I heard it for the first time this morning. Just type "NPR Monsanto" into Google -- or Bing if that's your thing. I can't say it any better than this person.)
*My apologies to my very wonderful boss who I called this morning immediately after I heard this -- because I knew she would be outraged as well -- for interrupting/ruining her morning tea.
