You have heard of bio-diversity, yes? Welcome to the brave new world of malver-diversity
Edit: Ok, I admit it, I need glasses dagnabit - super embarrassing typo fixed ... :o)
I invented a new word today: malver-diversity
The goal of this blog post is to highlight just how diverse a gallery of advertisements has been created by the criminals behind the malvertizements. They have no shame, impersonating everything from WeightWatchers to Oxfam.
All of the advertisements that you see below are screenshots of malvertizements that I have crossed my desk just this month because somebody, somewhere, wanted the advertisement to be checked. Pretty amazing, yes?
