Why CBS + Some Advertising Agency doesn't get it. Web = pull. Print = push. Clickable Print = push+pull.

If you embed the code below on your blog it slows down your computer while the commercial keeps loading and loading and loading. So then you delete the code and remove the link to Watch CBS Videos Online

Commercials are fine at your site. They are ok on my blogs. But not if you keep loading and loading and loading just to get a distracting display when I don't click.

The web is NOT a push medium. The web is a pull medium. So stop pushing. Print is a push medium. Clickable print has the best of both worlds.

This is the code in question, without the initial < src="http://cnettv.cnet.com/av/video/cbsnews/player-dest.swf" flashvars="linkUrl=http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5069647n&releaseURL=http://cnettv.cnet.com/av/video/cbsnews/player-dest.swf&videoId=50072756&edid=2121&vert=News&autoPlayVid=false&name=cbsPlayer&allowScriptAccess=always&wmode=transparent&embedded=y&scale=noscale&rv=n&salign=tl" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" height="324" width="425">
