Microsoft to Serve Ads on Digg …Bugs Appear Instantly
This is too funny- Digg today announced that Microsoft would be serving their ads. I opened Safari (I have AdBlock in Firefox) to see what the ads looked like, and was greeted by this:

- The ads are mixed up- the leaderboard ad is on the right side, and the right side ad is on top. Thus both are cut off. This screenshot is not cropped on the sides- the ad was cut off.

I refreshed a couple times, and the ads were back to normal. I opened another story on Digg, and they were messed up again.
Not to reinforce any stereotypes about Microsoft…

Microsoft has always been the easiest company to make fun of.
Too bad they are Google’s ads in this case…but cheap shots are well….cheap.
Even if they were microsoft ads, would it really be microsofts fault? That seems more of a problem of diggs handling of the advertisements than anything microsoft was doing? (unless they were serving the wrong formats for the spaces or something of the like).
Sorry, just having a bit of fun.
Those are NOT Google ads, those are Digg’s own ads made to look like Google ads.
But, you’re right, not Microsoft. Got me.
Well, what is so strange about it?

That was so embarrassing 
Everything where Microsoft got it’s finger is bugs, bugs and more bugs.
