That doesn't surprise me in the slightest, in the case of either participant. When New Times bought out the Weekly, the company made a point of driving out anybody and everybody with the slightest bit of talent or competence (thus explaining why Mark Caywood was forced out within a week but Kristian "Um Um Um" Lin is still making vowel movements there), and the current crop of advertising salespeople probably couldn't care less about this issue. If they're anything like the alleged humans working at The Met before it shut down (especially with a sales manager who literally only had her job because she was fucking the publisher, and who was promptly let go when they broke up), the attitude is "Who cares, so long as the checks clear and they don't say anything about it?"
