It's a one day event for a new opening, I actually think we can leave it.  Not like the events page is bursting with events otherwise.  They are even doing some giveaways.

This specific entry just tweaks me the wrong way, but to put it in all fairness: is NPOV ignored on the Events page? I mean, not just this one, but nearly all the events are full of flowery, opinionated, coercive language. Thus, should NPOV be enforced here? The Events Page is pretty clunky to use (e.g. can authors even edit their own? I can't seem to [immediately] find how to edit anything on the page) so it would be difficult to promote community editing. In my opinion, we should be encouraging and enforcing NPOV all over, and if there are any exceptions, that should be clearly stated for readers.

I think the events has been Not NPOV.  We do keep it honest though.

Sent from my iPhone, typos are numerous and hilarious

Sorry for not jumping in on this more but I'm in cape cod this week. I think the ad should be wiped-one day or not it sets a bad precedent which could lead to other ads. If I think about it when we get back to the hotel tonight it will go away
