The web is a funny place. While Cablevision and ABC were sparring over carriage rates, Cablevision viewers were prevented from watching the OSCARS, or at least the first 20 mins until it was finally aired.
So while users flocked to the web for alternatives, I coudln’t help but laugh at the irony of this well placed ad. Justin.TV may have been streaming pirated content, but the ad definitely makes you chuckle.
Another example of piss poor ad exchange management? A typo calling an old ad? Just plain stupidity? Could be any of those reasons - or plenty more - for this ad showing up on a page.
I’d go see Jo Dee Messina at the Atlantis, but, uh, this ad is for an event that happened A MONTH AGO!
Today: December 22, 2009.
Event: Thanksgiving Weekend.
Fine, its more of a glitch than an honest to goodness mess, but i coudln’t resist the pun.
While checking my Yahoo mail, this banner ad expanded - not sure if I rolled over it or not - but I had no way to close it. Looks like some sort of DHTML error, since the search bar appears over the ad unit and not under it. Either way, you be the judge.
