You know what... I must apologize!

Why? Because Google has apparently altered their TOS at some point. I know there was something about deceptive ad placement in there. Something about ads must stand out from the site content and not be placed in a way as to confuse content with ads.

What a crock of poooooooo!!!! Google must have caved because webmasters were complaining that nobody is clicking the ads and thus the whole adsense is in jeopardy, so they save it by allowing tricks for clicks!

It's nice that members don't see them at least. I like the option of browsing without loggin in, but it's annoying trying to overlook the ads, so I guess either log in or I just don't bother anymore.
