I would have provided a summary of this story, but that tends to attract the wrong audience through organic keyword searches on search engines.
Have a look at the following screenshot from the recently launched entertainment portal, Buzz18, owned by TV18. I agree that a newly launched site needs to be seeded with initial content — but such crap ??
On the same topic, take a look at the banner ad that appeared on Rediff at the leaderboard position (Tip: Anthony)
Shouldnt these guys be acting a bit more responsibly ??
Utterly crass and shocking! And I totally agree with you!! WTF were they thinking?! Not being a hypocrite here – porn has it’s own place in cyberspace – not on my (once) favourite news site and an up and coming generic audience entertainment site for sure!!
Banners ad servers that accept porn ads do have a higher payout, but should rediff compromise on user experience for revenue’s sake?
For a content site as rediff, it is the user that helps pay the bill

Check out zapak.tv.
Zapak is touted to be the gaming site for all indians. And this kind of irresponsibility and cheap tactics leaves a bad scar.
The above examples too show how low some corporates can stoop. Very disappointing!!
Sick!!
