More Fake YouTube-Style Ads Doing the Rounds...

After doing some digging on a rumour regarding a new bunch of infected Torrents doing the rounds, I happened to stumble across a spectacularly distasteful forum - and by "spectacularly distasteful", I do of course mean nine solid pages of links to "rape videos" (clips ripped from movies, pornos etc), amongst other things such as general discussion, videogames and, er, Bollywood movie news.

Nice combination.

While there, I noticed the site had a rotating ad banner that randomly served up ads for free laptops, luxury cruises, smileys etc....you know the score. Well, I happened to see one or two ads appear in the rotating ad banner thing that happened to resemble YouTube style movie players. Generally, this means you can be sure that, whatever else, clicking the ad will NOT take you to YouTube. Eventually, curiosity got the better of me - would this be some hot new install? - and clicking one of the ads took me to....

Zango.com, with this particular page pushing Pamela Anderson movies. Apart from the creepy forum that took me there via the ad rotator, what I'm really curious about here is, after the series of events that took us to this (and then this), you'd think clickthrough-ads-looking-like-YouTube would now be looked at as something to be avoided like the plague.

Apparently not.
