FTC rules on Blogger Freebies*

Looks like the FTC just clamped a vice grip on the nuts of bloggers in the US of A today. Starting December 1st, bloggers will have to report if they are being paid by brands to plug their products on any postings they make. If the evil bloggers (many of whom are laid off print pub employees trying to eek out a living) don't report the payola, they will be punished with fines up to $11,000 per violation.

That is a prime example of government working for the people to fight crime at its worst. Good job government...pat on the back Little Bear for doing your job and wasting taxpayers time and money.
