Don't put this all on bloggers. Payola is not a concept native to blogging. Plenty of print publications and newspapers have been guilty of the same thing, where was the FTC then?

As little of a fan as I am about the blogger shilling, honestly, the FTC stepping in even more horrifying. Surely they have more important shit to fry than meddle with this nonsense...

I am reminded of the great Malomar kerfluffle of '05. Commenter was executed under suspicion of being an agent for the evil Mars Candy empire and, hello, what's this? A check! Remember, they're chrunchety and chocolatety handfuls of goodness!

@blix: Yeah but everything's a kerfluffle when it comes to Mallomars. A creamy white kerfluffle atop a sweet shortbread cookie coated in milk chocolate. Mallomars. No one does kerfluffle quite like it!

@Aaron Altman: as far as i know, they are the only seasonal mass market confection sold in your neighborhood (tri state area) supermarket

also, how come the lady mags and their corrupt beauty editors / shills are exempt; should they not be swept up in this, too?

also. however.
