Today I just saw the largest ad ever on YouTube. It covered the whole top width and then the drink was drawn down on the right column! oooooooooooooH! Someone made some good money on that!

I guess McDonald is trying to steal Starbucks coffee drinkers. Their timing is right! Who wants to pay $4 bucks for a coffee?

My post was moved to FOO! What does FOO stand for? I dont think ive ever posted here! :)

What does FOO stand for?

How much would it help to define it as the canonical example of a metasyntactic variable [en.wikipedia.org]? ;)

Here's a relevant news story from MSNBC. Good article, a sign of the times:

FOO is not BAR, and if you need a third party, there's always FOOBAR

There's actually an RFC on the subject:

A homepage takeover of YHOO! for a day with one of those rich media things can be anywhere up to $500K (maybe more) so if advertisers warm up to YouTube, it could be a decent incremental revenue stream for YouTube/Google.
