Newsmax ads on Yahoo! mail

I don't know about anyone else here, but I get really annoyed by those "Get Bush country" banners that keep popping up on my Yahoo! mail account.

If you are too, please click on the link (in fine print at the bottom) called "ad feedback." You can specify the ad, rate it, and make comments. Tell them that the last thing you want to see when you are checking your email is Chimp's smirking face.

Maybe if enough people do this, Yahoo! will drop them as a client. One can hope anyways.

2. About four months ago...

I heard that Yahoo.com had a policy which prohibited them from running political ads and the like.

I wonder how things could have changed so drastically.

3. Was that during the campaign?

They may have been worried about equal time.

4. It was during the campaign,

but nobody does "equal time" anymore.

And I don't think the concept of equal time applies to paid advertising.
