This was on CNN today.

It might not be too obvious. You still lookin’? Okay, I’ll tell you. It’s a story about the unbearable living conditions for refugees at the New Orleans Superdome… with an advertisement to buy Superdome tickets below the image on the right.

Sometimes… it’s not always a good idea to get automatic Yahoo ad feeds. Good job, ticketcity.com. Somebody’s gotta catch that eventually.

Update: Seems that the ads rotate out. Which ad will you get? The one about houses for sale in Houston? Or the one about the cheapest Superdome tickets?

“Hi! My name is CNN.com and I’m a money-hungry, insensitve asshole. Please click my ads.”

    Aww… I was just getting to like CNN too! Honestly, where do you notice these things? I just glaze over anything that has "Ads by Gooooooooooooogle" under it ;)
