Various evils

Fudge Factor, the Fudge e-zine, has been experimenting with Google Ads 
(nb:  though it shares a server, it's out at fudgefactor.org and thus 
exempt from the Phoenyx vow of poverty... still no ads *here*, no matter 
how benign Google ones are), and one of the things that comes up 
frequently is MMORPG ads (mostly gold farmers).  I jokingly said that FF 
was now contributing to the downfall of Roleplaying As We Know It, and was 
quickly corrected by a person or two who took me all serious and stuff. 
(Possibly I should disclaim all my posts, I dunno.)

However, in a fit of synchronicity, Mike Mearls' journal pointed to this 
link:  http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/archives/001496.php

Don't miss pages 2-4, since that's where the RPG stuff is.  I'd've liked 
to have seen "Do you still play RPGs" as a followup question, though.
