Most of the time that you hear a Sbling mention the ads on scienceblogs.com we're whinging about one thing or another. Russian brides here, woo and snake oil there. You know the routine. So, I thought I'd note that we currently seem to be running an ad staring Jennifer Lopez encouraging you to vaccinate your baby for pertussis. Which has been recently talked about here.
So next time you see an obnoxious offensive ad on scienceblogs, complain to us about it as loudly as ever. This pertussis ad does not get us any advanced brownie points. But at least, you'll know that sometimes marketing, advertising dollars, the Seed/Scienceblogs.com vision and our ultimate quest for world domination come together.

If you don't have time to read his farewell novel, here's the short version: Seed Media Group management are insufficiently attentive to the blogs…
Reward trumps punishment. If Seed gets crap for the "bad" ads, it's all the more important to get Seed credit for the good ones.
And this is a good one. I'll click on that sucker every time I see it.
This should make Orac happy (or at least less annoyed).
Cool! Finally a celebrity on the rational side of the vaccine debate...
Are we sure she isn't hawking shoes or something with the vaccine? /snark
'bout time!
"Finally.." Madhu? I guess Amanda Peet didn't count.
"Babies" - she has twins :) (nowhowcomeIcanrememberthatbutneveranyname)
Greg, surely typing "staring" instead of "starring" was an innocent case of fat fingers, not a freudian slip 8^)!
Hurrah for a rational and sensible A lister who does the right thing for her baby.
I wasn't staring.
