It will be expensive but already in Google News I see 100+ articles about it so it really creates a lot of press. I agree about Entertainment Weekly, it is unreadable to me, although I would pick it up just to check out this video. I agree that video ads are annoying but I don’t think this will be a fail.

I mean, what's the draw? There's no content in there. Who's gonna sit through 40 minutes of ads? Then again, I'm the type of person who'd rather be trepanned by my own hand than read Entertainment Weekly, so maybe I just don't understand the mindset of their target audience (people previously trepanned?).
