Don’t Run your Brand Ads on Yahoo Video!

Oprah and Dr Oz sue over Belly Fat Ads… Obey!

It looks like Oprah and Dr. Oz want their cut of belly fat ad revenue….. You know the ones you contacted your support rep at all the adnets to block form your site.

Hopefully Oprah and Dr. Oz will NOT go after the AdNets (most all of them ran some variation of this campaign) that facilitated these ads running on pretty much every website on the interwebs January - March 2009.

As of 8/20 there are no more Oprah endorsed Belly Fat Ads on MSNBC - but Rachael Ray is still fair game I guess.

JZ + The Beatles + Danger Mouse = Copyright Infringement Never sounded so good!
