YouTube To Allow Self-Serve Ads For Major Media Players
thefickler writes to tell us that YouTube plans on raising revenue by allowing major media players to run their own ads on the video site for, not only their own content, but illegally uploaded content by other users. "The site says CBS is already on board for the scheme, with other giants expected to join. The scheme will allow TV, movie and music companies to upload content and then sell advertising themselves, for example through images or animations which are overlaid on suitable sections of the clips. YouTube will then take a cut of this advertising revenue."
Over the last year Youtube has consistently been doing stupid things. I was about to stop using them altogether. This might just be the last straw if this becomes widespread.
The free ride is over. Give me a firefox plugin to block this crap otherwise GTG LOL
Is this how Google lets their inner Evil out?
The Nigger Organization for White Rape (NOWR) has declared its mission to engage in acts of sexual assault against various white persons regardless of age, sex, or income until Mr Hal Turner of Slashdot surrender himself to the NOWR to face the consequences of his hate speech. The NOWR is committed to the progression of Black sex offender's right to engage in gross sexual misconduct against caucasian members of society. Mr Hal Turner has repeated infringed on our right to quote "tap that sweet white ass". I, Mr Tyrone Johnson, have assured all that for the indefinite future the NOWR will protest in the form of marching up to white person's houses and conducting what we call 24 hour protest sessions.
We respectfully inform you that your domicile will be next in our protest and that you should expect no less than 27 but no more than 50 black sodomy warriors. If there are any person or persons in your family from the age of 3 months to no older than 98, they are not exempt from our protest session. We thank you for your cooperation during these dark times and urge you to bring the NOWR outlaw known as Mr Hal Turner to justice. We recommend bringing your tears to these protest sessions as a formality.
Sincerely Your,
Mr Tyrone Johnson
NOWR President and First Rapist
Lots of insecure marketing 'droids here trying to justify their useless "jobs". Ah gee, where's my miniature violin.

The majority of modern marketing is nothing more than an arms race to get mind share. Everybody loses except the parasitic marketing "industry".
