mmmary, the vestigial yellow glow around "Silicon Investor" is enough to give anybody a fit. :)

I suspect that Bob doesn't even see it. That, among other things, is why he should leave artwork to artists.

An old college friend has an expression he uses to describe what Bob is doing:

"Dad will let us use the garage, and Mom can sew the curtains!"

(Said in an appropriately-squeeky voice.)

>>I just know that it's irritating and classless.

Oh, boy. I won't even go there except to say.. know thyself.

I agree and successfully got it killed on iHub when it was showing there, and have emailed the ad agency to get it stopped here. Not only is it utterly classless and annoying, it has a certain smell about it I don't care for.

I've stepped through most of the ads at ValueClick trying to find this one so I can exclude it myself, but haven't had any luck.
