I happened to be reading Slate (on MSN) and they have a banner for Vonage (the net phone company) - the funny thing is that its a banner made in flash, that alternates between a traditional banner looking ad, and an adsense block - but it's just a banner still the same.

Imagine that - these guys actually _want_ their banners to look like adsense ads....

could this be a sign of things to come for the upcoming MSN programme?

Even though slate runs off MSN, it's no longer a MSN property.

Just thought to clear it up.

In any case, I'd love to see a MSN program.

I wonder if this counts as drawing attention to the ads...hmmm...can we use <BLINK> on our Adsense ads? hehee

I'm just wondering what does it really say, when we have banners imitating text ads:)..?
