I am so glad Renderosity allows banners from anyone. After all, if they only allowed banners which appealed to graphics artists, then I wouldn't know about "smiley" companies, online universities, and this banner telling me that I could win $1,000,000.
Thanks go out to the admins for approving these banners and having the foresight to broaden our interests with banners like this. I mean, really, who wants to see an ad for a cool sci-fi set when they can see a flashing banner ad telling them where to get "smileys".
You have to admire the business model behind the decision to run banner ads like this: Instead of directing the person to a product here in the Marketplace, let's send the visitor to another site, away from Renderosity, to spend their money.
In case you can't see the image, it is a screen shot of a Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes banner, promoting the fact that people can win $1,000,000 this summer.
