The idea of sponsorships flexing their $$$, by paying young naive (or even old ignorant) websurfers to build fake weblogs to pitch their new product makes me sick and I'd hope that bloggers will remain as smart, as the ones I frequent, seem. And stay the hell away from this sort form of marketing, urban legand, dishonest, con-man crap.

And after reading that post by Doug MacClure over on EmptyBottle.org I recalled that I forgot to write about how much this realy irks me. Well, now I have, or at least I've started.
