Why does Atrios have an ad on his site for W the Ketchup?

[quaoar]

Just wondering? Seems strange to me.

1. I wondered, too

I clicked on the ad expecting to see a parody, but it's serious.

2. Yikes! ... perhaps this site bought "a package" of ads ...

and unaware of this specific one?

3. i don't see the ad

where is it?

4. It's a couple screens down

on the right-hand side.

5. The ad looks like its actually placed by google

...and is probably "rotated" with others..

Google probably thinks they are being smart/funny and Atrios may or may not even know its there.

8. yeah I saw one that said

meet single republicans

6. Was it one of the Google Ads?

If so, they are all f-ed up ... you are as likely to get one aimed at Freeptards as at liberals. The same thing happens on Oliver Willis's blog.

7. It's all done by keywords nt

LOL

10. Who cares?

So the W Ketchup company wastes money on people who won't buy their Ketchup, and gives it to Atrios...so?

11. I kinda agree here. Like NBC advertising on Air America.

12. On Sirius satellite radio

they used to run ads for Sean Hannity's show on Air America. Sure didn't want to listen to that shit -- or even a commercial for it.
