RSS Ads

There's a blog on EDN I occasionally read (unfortunately it's way too focused on digital). As with all blogs that I read I follow the RSS feed. I was just fooled into clicking on an ad because the blog's RSS feed incorporated links to ads as if they were links to posts (ok, I wasn't paying much attention because all the ads start with "Sponsored Link"). Not sure how common that is, but it is the first time I've seen it. Putting ads as posts in an RSS feed - LAME.

Hm, I guess the only thing lamer than that is a link that goes to a blog post that talks about ads in RSS feeds and even worse then tries to make it ok by using a self-referential joke...
