Hi, I have a split opinion about advertising. On the Web I find most ads annoying, especially those that force users to close them or start playing sound out of a sudden, which motivated me to write a computer program to remove flashy ads from Web sites.

However, I appreciate innovative and original ads such as this Foot Locker Spank ad on YouTube. It is a cool and kinky idea without being too offensive while still staying product related ;-)

What is also cool about this form of advertising is that it is spread by word of mouth rather than being the millionth banner on a completely confusing and overloaded Web page. More of this, please!
