As if I needed any more excuse to quit using AOL's instant messenger client, recently they have started running advertisements in the upper half of the application screen for "breast enlarging powder" that promises to increase breast size by an entire cup size in 1 month, for only 300 dollars. About as sleazy as the "stockgeneration.com" banner ads that comprise roughly 95% of Silicon Investors advertising- when everyone and their brother know that stockgeneration.com is an offshore pyramid scheme that runs on a DAILY BASIS to new offices as the authorities hunt them down. Is revenue so hard to come by in this industry that people will knowingly accept advertisements from obvious frauds?
