[IMC-pgh-editorial] mortuary work

[Andy Mulkerin]

yeah, i agree that while this is an ad, it's somewhere where we should
take license and let it stay on the global wire. this is the sort of thing
that is good to know about, and when you think about it, most of us in
this *community* would generally not be looking too close at military ads
of any sort, so it's something someone might be interested in but might
ignore.

i guess a little reviewing could be done on the matter of posting those
things, but at the same time, we made the policy slightly vague in order
to give the ed. collective the leeway to take this sort of license. i
don't really think it's a bad thing to have these discussions.
