Anyone notice the McCain ads that suddenly appeared on all liberal Youtube videos?
I am assuming McCain has paid to insert his anti ads in any Youtube videos tagged with search terms like Obama and McCain.

Look at the ad to the right of this video. All of the liberal videos I watch have had pictures of a sneering Palin or snarling McCain in an attack ad in the past two days. Anyone else notice this?

1. I did see them...
thinking about it in retrospect. I saw them when I was watching some Young Turks video, and thought it was rather odd.

2. Easy two step solution to that problem
1) Use Firefox if you aren't doing so already

2) Install AdBlock Plus (extension)

I don't see ads. Especially annoying Repuke ads.

3. Firefox doesn't control ads on Youtube
The people who upload their films do. They control whether they have ads on their channels. But I am thinking they do not control the content of the ads.

4. If he paid, he's paying high dollar... click the ads. Every time you do, it costs his campaign
.. and youtube makes revenue. Revenue helps keep websites like youtube free.

5. I have been avoiding clicking them
Maybe I better change my tactics. Hope it hurts his campaign!! Cause seeing that ugly Palin's face on the ads hurts my eyes.
