This is '9/11 preparedness' to a certain extent. Remember when that happened how there were no adverts anywhere for a week or so? The music changed too, no 'John Lennon' songs were played for a while.
This does need to be fine grained. Although the UK is adjacent to France and Germany the current disaster is not nationally significant in the UK in that there will not be days of mourning, people being quiet for two minutes, politicians laying wreaths etc. So it is only the readers in France and Germany that need to be 'spared' adverts on this story, the rest of the world can have normal ad-based service.

- dfc 12y agoThere is one John Lennon song out of 165 songs on that list. Are you sure that is the reference?
- schoen 12y agoI suspect so, because the existence of that list got a lot of press at the time, and I think the presence of "Imagine" on the list got attention in its own right. So I think this list is likely what people would be thinking of in that context.
