 Globemedia never ceases to amaze me!

Reading the Globe and Mail online this morning when I saw a very interesting sight:



Are they pretending to play fair?

I think the globe and mail uses a 3rd party ad publisher. They don't approve the ads.

If there's money to be made shooting themself in the foot, they'll do it. Soul less corporation.

Yeah this is probably the most likely issue. At least its not a compromised server doling out browser seizing virut laden scripts.

Its terribly ironic though because it shows that even the internet beast hates them :P

I figured as much, but it still makes for a funny sight.

Bell only owns 15% of Globemedia - so they probably don't have *that* much sway when it comes to accepting advertising on a Globemedia property.

Probably not, but notwithstanding the occasional blog post, how often has the UBB story been covered by the Globe?

better question is how often does anyone vist the globes page,
my guess is most readers of the globe and mail are all old rich farts,
that don't even know how ot turn on a
microwave oven let alone a computer.
