Disturbing FanNation Ads

Sports Illustrated's website links to a site called FanNation, a site for sports news, rumors, and discussion. Small, unobtrusive ads, mainly just text, are generated between stories on the "Truth & Rumors" section.

Today, the following ads showed up while I read.

Opposite a piece about Warren Sapp:
Get more from Canon Camcorders
Many styles and features to choose from. Official site
www.usa.canon.com

Accompanying the Rams' possible return to Los Angeles:
Canon VIXIA Camcorders

easy-to-use features

Next to personal seat licenses for the Giants' new digs:
Claritin Products

Claritin
www.claritin.com

Alongside legal information about the Broncos' Brandon Marshall:

And finally, the disturbing one. Next to a piece about the Comcast company, this gem:
Find a local liquor store
Enter your zip code and get your fix. Free business
directory.
www.zipweb.com

How messed up is that??? Essentially, "Welcome to CNN and Sports Illustrated's FanNation. Use the internet to get conveniently 'faced. Free business directory." Seriously, "Get your fix?!" Are crack dealers listed on Zipweb? Or meth labs, or poorly-secured toolsheds with inhalable solvents?

C N freaking N owns this website. Come on, guys. Set a standard.



(Besides, who doesn't know where the nearest liquor store is? I'm just saying...)
