Ed McMahon raps for FreeCreditReport.com
Forget Freddie Mac. It's Eddie Mac who needs a bailout—and fast, because he's really hitting the skids! Swimming in debt and faced with losing his Beverly Hills home, 85-year-old Ed McMahon is shooting viral rap videos for FreeCreditReport.com. The late Johnny Carson's former second banana and ex-Star Search host tells the AP: "I knew I could sing the blues, but I didn't know I could rap." The lyrics fall into the so-bad-they're-good-no-actually-they're-bad! category, with references to "a ninja swinging nunchucks," "media chumps," "playing gin rummy" and a "wife with bad credit." (Sure, blame the trophy wife.) Oddly, McMahon does have some street cred, having gone gansta old-school as a violent pimp in the blaxploitation classic Slaughter's Big Rip Off. As the man himself used to say from the edge of the Tonight Show couch: "Hi-yo!" —Posted by David Gianatasio |

Hey guys.. A coupla years ago, u had a small post on Alex Tew, his million dollar home page and pixelloto as well.
All thought that pixel advertising was overused and this concept of advertising was lost sumwhere..
Today while googling around I came across this site called www.blogertize.in - another example of pixel advertising site.. thought I'd say it is the best of the lot of rip-offs or copy cat sites..
Well, while googling around I also came across this PR..

So can we say that pixel advertisement has revived..

Yikes. Ed must be hard up for cash. Sad, but he also should have managed his $$$ better.
