NY Times gets pwnd by malicious adware
A scammer pretended to be a legit national advertiser, provided some legitimate ads for a week, then switched them to pop-up fake virus warnings over the weekend. The Times has suspended ads automatically inserted by third party ad-placement agencies.

Mortgage collapse could hurt ad sales
"...financial advertisers account for more than a third of all web advertising." On the one hand, this sucks for those of us who work in media. On the other hand, this means fewer of those people dancing on rooftop abominations.

The New York Times has done an advertising "story" about Red Lobster in their food section?
This is seriously icky feeling. It looks and feels just like a regular NYT story, except for the smallish "ADVERTISING" header. CORRECTION: Duh, this is a story *about* advertising, not an ad itself. Dumbass = me.
