I agree, MikeD... typical big government thinking: expensive, intrusive, & ineffective... "For bloggers who review products, this means that the days of an unimpeded flow of giveaways may be over." Really? Does anyone actually think bloggers who review products PAY for the stuff they review? Did Kirstie Alley pay to enrol in Jenny Craig? Does Roger Ebert pay to see movies? C'mon... I'd rather see the FTC spending taxpayers money to teach people about naivety: "And remember, when someone blogs about their breakfast and tells you that 'Super Sugary Maple Pops are part of a well balanced diet' you might want to question their motives." What's next? Maybe the FTC should tackle Buzz marketing.. When a stranger strikes up a "random" conversation about "these new shoes that stimulate your chakras as you walk," should the FTC be monitoring the conversation? Good luck (and good night). O - one last rhetorical Q: what was the FTC doing when this stuff happened? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_administration_payment_of_columnists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_administration_payment_of_...
