Dyson sponsors Shiny titles

Shiny_pongHere at Shiny Media Towers we're all very excited about our latest sponsor. Dyson has specially chosen our flagship tech blogs, Shiny Shiny and Tech Digest, for its latest teaser advertising campaign (we'd like to tell you more about the actual product they are announcing next week but we'd have to shoot you).

Rather than your normal run of the mill banner ad this one is fantastically innovative (and we're not just saying that because they're paying us shedloads of cash). Remember the game Pong from the 1970s where you used your TV set to play tennis with a bat and ball? Well, they've reprised the game for the web which means that if you're bored reading our blogs - something we can't really imagine - you can always while away a bit of time, idly playing  the game across your computer screen. But don't take our word for how great it is - head over to the sites to play it for yourself. Just one more thing. You'll need Internet Explorer 6 and your screen maximised in order to take part.

The teaser ad runs until Monday when - hopefully - we'll be able to tell you more about the actual product!

Isn't there a contradiction between your 'ethical' stance and promoting a company like Dyson, that sets up shop abroad to pay workers poverty wages in order to maximise profits to shareholders?
