Adfreeblog.org is "opposed to the use of corporate advertising on blogs" and that "corporate advertising on blogs devalues the medium." Never mind the fact that this icon's spread it really just an ad for adfreeblog.org, which is in turn an ad for the creators, Kerri Smith and Jeff Pitcher, subtly linked to at the bottom of its page. If they were truly hardcore they'd make it anonymously. Ads, capitalism, blogs, good. Undermining one's own message, not good. via. UPDATE: Commentary (mine included, natch) continues over at Stay Free!
Perfect. A polemical response to a nuanced issue. Way to prove my point, punters.
