The fact that Facebook is behind it reminds me of Nolan Sorrento's desire to increase advertising space in the Oasis [1]. [1] [VIDEO]
"We estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures." [VIDEO] i guess 81% is the end :P

Hopefully they'll skip this[0] part: "...once we can rollback some of Halliday's ad restrictions, we estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures!" [0] [VIDEO]
I think the only way vendors will learn that this is not acceptable is people not buying their stuff any more.
