They may have cleared up the issue regarding Boing Boing, but their business model remains ethically reprehensible It is WRONG for advertisers to PAY for "reviews." Always has been...always will be.

Any site that receives cash in exchange for reviewing products should fully disclose that fact to their readers. I went to the site in question and looked at several examples of actual reviews that had been written on various blogs. NONE disclosed the fact that they received cash in exchange for expressing their opinion about a product.

Of course, Reviewme.com is merely acting as the conduit for the exchange of funds to take place, but it's the ONLY service they're selling. Unfortunately, I don't guess it's illegal...just highly unethical.
