Continuing the fuck you theme for the day:
Next New Networks launched Hungry Nation today. I checked out one of the videos. In the space of a 5 minute video, there were three 30-second video adverts, and a Google ad overlay. (As well as 2 more flash ads on the page itself.) A minute and a half of advertising, plus the time it took to dismiss the overlay, in only 5 minutes of web video, that thing that’s supposed to be revolutionising the way we watch television. This is worse than television.
Needless to say, I won’t be clicking on any of the eight sharing icons. (Oh boy, don’t get me started on those.)

This theme isn't yet complete, because I'm lazy. Don't mind the rough edges, and the unexpected appearance of this message at the bottom of the page.
