CNN Twitterville Story Page: Ads Make Stories Disappear


I was reading a nice story on CNN.com about Shel Israel's Twitterville.

Then I went to click on a story headline on the sidebar at CNN.com, but a Verisign ad popped up, and then I couldn't get to the story.

Or so I thought.

Oh silly me. The 7 1/2" tall Verisign ad only pushed the side bar content below the fold so I couldn't see the story links anymore.

When I went to take a screenshot for you, a new ad showed up from Samsung.

Same thing.

This is not cool.
