You, too, can advertise on TV. You can pick your network, show, time, submit your ad to Google, and for $100, they'll get it up and running for you.

From http://www.switched.com/2010/03/23/how-to-run-your-ad-on-fox-news-for-100/ :
"Slate's Seth Stevenson decided to try it out for himself and see if he could actually air a commercial for a fake product on national television. After creating a trippy, apocalyptic commercial for his nonexistent product, Stevenson decided to post it to Google TV Ads. By doing so, he could choose not only the network he wanted to employ, but the time slot and even the show during which his spot would air. After choosing the appropriately ridiculous, unrealistic show during which to air an equally ridiculous, unrealistic commercial, Stevenson purchased air time on Fox News, during early morning reruns of Glenn Beck. After spending just $100 for the time slot, the commercial ran a full seven times, and the Web site advertised at the commercial's conclusion received over 1,000 new visitors."

Wow! Cool! Howcome this isn't more widely advertised?
