when a star has her picture taken wearing Revlon makeup and saying how great it is, it's an endorsement of the product. but that star has been paid BIG BUCKS to say that stuff.
I'm saying that people really need to be able to figure this out themselves.
If I go to a web site and see a bunch of links on the bottom of the page, am I really thinking 'oh, those are great sites because this guy put links there'? no, I'm not. I take that recommendation/potential paid link like I take all the other recommendations/potential paid links - as something to look at, take into consideration but by no means make a determination based solely on that information.
I understand the intent, however, I'm tired of being force fed this kind of stuff when it isn't necessary. We aren't all 8 years old and maybe, just maybe, we'd be a bit better off if we were forced to think for ourselves a bit more. That's all I'm saying here.
