Ozman, no, let me give you a hypothetical, okay?
HYPOTHETICALLY, let's say you are running a really big affiliate program (ozmanlive.com), and you are getting a ton of heat for doing a pretty dirty thing to your affiliates. Let's say, you decide that you don't want to change your ways, but you want the heat to go away. Let's say your making an ass load of money, and don't mind spending a bit to pour mud all over the asshole ruining your perfectly good and very dirty way of making money.
So what do you do? You sign up to Zango, and pay for popups for ifrends on top of ifriends (maybe with your affiliate code, natch) and then you point this out to someone, who points it out to someone, who then comes on GFY and starts a "hahahahaha" thread.
Do you see where I am going with this?
Controlling the news cycle. Discrediting the whistleblower. Changing the quesiton from one of affiliates getting screwed to one of the individual ethics of the whistleblower....
just a hypothetical thought, you know...
