<<AOL takes a 54 Billion write down, and they (AOL) still have a market cap of over 100 Billion. (scary)>> Means nothing! AOL now includes all of Time Warner. Hell, TNT video library alone is massive. ESPN & ESPN2 are the stuff of legend(in ball & boat related sports at any rate) & CNN (despite obvious liberal bias) has power which can not be quickly dismissed. & shouldn't Time magazine be mentioned? Yes, maybe overvalued, but how much? What %?

OT OK,you're right, AOL is behind the curve in new advertising venues: Controversial Shadow Man: 2econd Coming advertising campaign Acclaim is launching a controversial advertising campaign in the UK that will place advertisements on tombstones. Acclaim Entertainment has announced that advertisements for its game Shadow Man: 2econd Coming for the PlayStation 2 are set to appear on gravestones across the UK as part of the first advertising campaign to use memorial plaques as part of a marketing strategy. The company is inviting relatives of the recently deceased to contact them if they are interested in subsidizing the costs associated with death in return for a small advertisement promoting the game with lead character Mike LeRoi's head and the logo as seen in the photo attached to this story.
