Evil Advertisements

This is some of the most evil advertising I’ve seen in a while. I went to Gamespot to check up on all things gaming, and it brought up this ad. I’m a Gamespot Complete member, which means I shouldn’t see any ads at all, but sometimes the cookie expires and I have to log back in. But I didn’t even realize this was an ad at first, since it looks exactly like the front page of Gamespot, except it’s actually just a big image, and the entire thing is an ad. I clicked on the login field so I could login and get rid of the ads, only to be taken to some page on EA.com, because the whole damn screen was an advertisement.

This almost seems more evil than having pop-ups. I mean that is just downright deceiving you to click on an ad. Gaming sites always seem to have the absolute worst ads… IGN.com has ads plastered on absolutely everything as well.
