I'm TWICE as sure I'm not touching the product if they keep messing with my clip. On another note, Sony and somebody started making episodes of Tiny Gorgeous Chicken Machine Show INTERACTIVE...I didn't know you could click on Flash and go to the next episode or something?

I don't know if the contest is still running, but Playboy was doing a Playmate search via YouTube and because they're a "partner", the submissions to this contest was getting an overlay and one of those 15 second deals. Not too long after it started (and started getting the ad treatment), one of the primary "sponsors" was the State of Utah. I'm pretty sure that the Travel Utah ads were being randomly selected from what's available and after I made a comment about this on Valleywag, the sponsor's ad suddenly switched to a regular Adwords box. But, I'm pretty sure that based on what I know about government, Utah and its culture, they probably wouldn't have appreciated being so closely tied to a Playmate search. Just saying... And, I can imagine a lot of other scenarios, where a randomly-selected, legitimate advertiser might not want to be seen as sponsoring certain types of content.
