William, are you sure Double click is a superbly managed company?;-) > New York, New York, May 8, (Bloomberg) -- DoubleClick Inc. mistakenly placed ads for Brown-Forman Corp.'s Jack Daniel's whiskey and Southern Comfort liquor on the Comics.com and Snoopy.com Web sites, the Wall Street Journal reported. An official for DoubleClick, which was hired by Brown-Forman to place banner ads on Web sites that would reach its typical drinker, said it was a ``mistake'' that resulted from a clerical worker entering the wrong information on an ad-placement form. A spokeswoman for United Media, which owns Comics.com, said the company's contract with DoubleClick prohibits any alcohol, tobacco or pornographic content on its sites, and it notified DoubleClick immediately when it noticed the ads, the paper said. DoubleClick is under investigation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for its method of tracking the online movements of Internet users. (WSJ 5/8 B1)
