3. Jason, how much do you think an ad like this could fetch?
Also do you think it would have been more effective to put the trailer IN the ad? so people could click to watch the trailer for monk right there?

1. I like that ad a lot too. It definitely gets your attention, but is pretty easy to ignore at the same time.
Shows up funny in IE7 though.
The ad reminds me of this blog post I read about the design of news sites. Some of the european sites have huge ads far down the page.
