You Lost Us At "Self-Respecting Advertisers"

AdAge had this to say about AOL's Huffpo’s launch of HuffPost High School and its plan to solicit unpaid contributions from teenagers:

"Quite simply, AOL/HuffPo intends to monetize the work of minors earning $0/hour. On Patch and HuffPost High School, it will sell ads against content created by minors -- but it will not share advertising revenue with those minors.

Self-respecting advertisers have to ask if they really want to be a part of something like this."

Isn't "Self-Respecting Advertisers" an oxymoron?

AOL/HuffPo intends to monetize the work of minors earning $0/hour. but it will not share advertising revenue with those minors. Sounds like working for BLT.
