And Mania jumps the shark.

seriously?  Wow.....just wow....

I never bitch about advertisements, bills have to be paid I get that. But when you start passing off advertisements as news it just looks and reflects terribly on the site, jeers

I find this method much better and preferable to the huge, screen filling pop-up ads that won't let you close them and move on. At least this way I can choose not to read it, and if I do read it I can choose not to read it again. With those annoying pop-ups I'm left with no choice but to leave the site and not return.

Wiseguy, it shouldn't be showing as "News" in any section. Can you submit me a link where it's showing up in the "news" box and we'll make sure it's taken care of?

Jarrod, IMO the way it's displayed on the main page along with the other features it comes across as news, at least it did me. It wasn't a banner on the side or top like other advertisements but along with the other featured stories.

Again I never complain about the ads, rollovers, pop-ups or whatever they be. And I'm not complaining about this one except that I think it looks bad on the site's part. Maybe I'm making more of it than it is or maybe it is supposed to be a news article

 I have no problem with the advertisements at all, especially those that directly relate to subjects on this site. But to have it listed as feature is a bit unnecessary. 

Yeah, it's coming up as news in the Comic section. Also, is that not the lamest slogan ever?

I don't care about this blatent commercialism, Thor was Awesome!

 Holy crap, has anybody seen the dubbed over Thor trailers that Conan has been showing?  You can see them at the team coco site...I'm still in tears and trying to stop laughing to get some sleep.
