modernista_layoffs_google.jpg

– Oops. Modernista!’s crazy website which isn’t really a site but an application that points people to other sites that have written something about the agency is now finding it’s “site” touting the agency’s recent layoffs.

– Oops. Continental Airlines plane crashes. CNN writes story. Continental Airlines ad shows up right beside story. Classic contextual advertising fuckery. When will someone figure this shit out?

– Oops. The fake Denny’s Nannerpus ad is better than the real…uh…originally fake Nannerpus ad. Confused?

– Oops. Overstock.com is selling Illusion’s rape simulation video game.

– Oops. The economy sucks. Everyone’s drinking. Everyone’s having sex. But ads still suck.
