Blip does have the "advertising model". So far they only video ads I have seen them serve is one and only Pimple commercial about America's war on pimples or something :) Am I the only one seeing this or has anyone seen any other commercials served by Blip. I love Blip, don't get me wrong. I just don't want them to flip just because their ad people aren't doing their best connecting the advertisers with the show producers.
