For those of you who read this site, you might have noticed I’m a big pontificator on ads and models of ads. If it was up to me, some company would pay me $200k a year + stock to come up with cool new ideas for monetizing sites. If you have that job, or would [...]

So while surfing collegehumor today (so what if I’m not technically in college…) I saw this “super cool, edgy, extreme, 2.0″ ad (at least thats how I assume the agency that made it pitched it).
