I forget where I picked up Sky High Airlines ("The mission of SkyHigh Airlines is to be laser-focused on total customer satisfaction, among many, many other things."), but besides being a funny site, I noticed a number of references to Alaska Airlines, and I wonder if this is the future of advertising. For instance, from the Super Scrimper Fares page:
DISCLAIMER: For those unable to devote 3-4 weeks
travel time, you could theoretically try
alaskaair.com. They have
low fares and Web Specials. And you can fly in a jet. Whoop-dee-doo.
It doesn't occur often enough to make me sure that it's a sponsored site, and yet...

Heh. Yeah, there were just enough subtle references to Alaska Air in the site to make me pretty sure.
Oddly, this works for me. They've entertained me without being duplicitous, so that's quality advertising.

Bingo. Duh. Should've checked myself. I'm so used to bogus whois records that I don't bother any more.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
