This should be fixed now.

We've reviewed the CollegeHumor ads running on our site and have had one ad pulled for not meeting our guidelines.

Thanks for the heads-up.

is the "news box" on the gamespot's title page sponsored in any way (this looped slide show of five "hottest" games with "read it/watch it" buttons)? i saw this question raised in a different forum and the opinions did quite vary, yet no one could tell for sure. care to shed some light on this? thanks.rizlaq

It sounds like you're describing the top stories carousel on the homepage (5 stories in a Flash carousel with "read it" and "watch it" buttons).

The answer is no. The choice and presentation of these editorial items is not sponsored by advertisement in any way.

This specific promotion shouldn't have gone up for Total Access users according to our internal guidelines. We're reviewing the incident.

Thanks for bringing this up.
