Giant Flash Ad of Suck

[S.R. Krol]

Apparently a lot of folks are now beginning to use peel ads. Spotted the online comics Least I Can Do and now PvP doing them. What I found interesting was the comments Kurtz made about the peel ad. You can find the full post at http://www.pvponline.com/2008/03/26/peel-ad/, but I wanted to direct your attention to a quote from it:

"I have received 10-15 emails today praising the ad and how fun it was to use. That’s fan mail for an AD unit. That’s not just unprecedented it’s incredibly exciting. In balancing commerce with art you compromise and being diligent about your advertising not alienating readers. You have to come up with exciting ways to match products with your audience so everyone wins."

See, peel ads are fun! Not a giant dose of suck!
