Could this be the beginning of a crowd-powered
advertising institution?
Is there some way to block them? I'm longing for YouTube in "the old days". If they put ad advertisement BELOW a video, I wouldn't mind so much, but it's in your face! While the video is playing, you can click it away, but after a video has finished, the scrolling trough related video's isn't that much fun and easy anymore. This could be the end of a YouTube-era.

- Is there any control with what ads get inserted? I am a parent of a 10 year old child and was quite shocked that a video on magicians kids parties get inserted with ads targeting men on the looking for young girls. Example web site: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=2lWawdRgSbI while accessing from Austria. As a parent, I do not want my child to be redirected to sex sites as a result of watching kids related videos videos on youtube. I think Google has a responsible to ensure that this does not happen.
