Today I logged onto Pitchfork Media to check out the latest in triple ironic self-aware snark regarding the latest in cool kid music, and a third of my screen was taken up by this iPod ad. A woman with a backpack was shimmying to and fro having a gay old time atop the headlines and content I’d visited for, and all I could do was stare at her until she stopped dancing and text appeared telling me to buy electronics.
The experience left me wondering what product or service I’d surrender my site’s dignity to. I considered this for a long time, and couldn’t really come up with anything that would be worth ripping a portal to some Youtube video into my website, so I guess the odds of this happening are pretty low.
Also, my site has no dignity, so I think we’re safe. You’re welcome.
