Two of the smartest people on SI are having a "well that depends on what you mean by 'is'" discussion.

David. It doesn't matter that the promise was never to display banner ads. The spirit of the promise has been broken.

Barb. It's not a banner ad. And it quacks like one, too.

Well Barb,

I know how you love argument...
So...
If merely trying to sell something is the operative fact here, why is there a distinction being drawn by placing the modifier "banner" in front of "ad"?

Best,
Tom
