See update to OP. The ad read 'THE OLD FORGE DAILY NEWS! oldforgetimes.blogspot.com', which may explain the use at one stage of 'Old Forge News'. Vacula's blog now used 'Times' both on the front page and the thread page.

The 'why' in this case seems to have been an attempt to see how unobjectionable an ad could still get objected to.
