It was probably a year ago now that the (major corporate entertainment) company I worked for made a deal with Zango to sponsor our games portal. When I was doing the updates to add it, I noticed the scumware aspect of it and emailed the ad producer to report the results of testing, and make sure he was aware of what kind of thing we were putting on our site. He replied back that he was and Legal'd signed off on everything in the deal, and that I should carry on as planned. That was in email...
In IMs and off the record, however, we discussed the fact that we'd sunk to new lows. Even I, a pornographer, wouldn't subject my adult surfers to that kinda crap; yet my big family-friendly corporate employer was pimping Zango on a games portal, where probably 85% of the millions of hits were coming from KIDS.
We all have the morals we can afford, I guess.
