MSNBC tries to make sex sell

Cable news also-ran MSNBC, best known for being the current organization signing Keith Olbermann’s paychecks, has decided to blow $1 million on an online advertising binge that is notable for two reasons: its use of imagery that wouldn’t be out of place on a sign for a strip club, and its abysmal failure to direct any cash toward the proprietor of this blog.

I’ve already seen the ad on 2 blogs (and I’ve only been to 5 or 6 today). There was a small chance that I might have clicked on the ad, if i didn’t see that it was from MSNBC.
