A brave new step for marketing?

Check out Cyberpresse and tell me if this isn’t the ugliest ad placement ever. I this a new era for CSS ads?

[update] And just like that it’s gone. For a while, the side blue borders were replaced with a huge ad from the veal meat industry. It was garish.

    Which ad? I can’t see any particular one.

    at least, none that really pops out compared to the rest.

    It’s just all poorly designed and laid out in general.

    The veal is bad! Especially on a widescreen. The colors should be blended with design somehow to create “good” emphasis on the product. Not blended it bring Bad emphasis.

    BTW, why do I have a flashback from Passe-partout’s “J’ai des bons légumes” upon seeing the side images?

    I went there very early this morning and it didn’t show anything. maybe it only showed up on Windows, or it just sensed I don’t eat meat.

    No I use a Mac so that’s not it. Sometimes it’s there, sometime it’s not.
