Reports that Display Advertising may on the rebound after nearly three consecutive quarters of decline were verified Friday evening when local HR manager Kelsey Kleinberg spotted the once popular online ad format hitting on her friend Janice Kieslowski at Timmy O’ Toole’s Pub in downtown Chicago.  The rebound was first noted earlier this month by comScore, who reported that Display Advertising impressions sold were back up to 1.1 trillion, the first significant increase in nearly a year.  But recent incidents have some worried.  ”Just because Display is on a rebound,” said comScore founder Gian Fulgoni, “doesn’t mean it has to get into bed with the first opportunity that presents itself.  I mean, it went through some pretty abusive relationships with LowerMyBills and those awful ‘Punch the Monkey’ ads.  I really hope it doesn’t slip into its old habits again.  I mean, let’s be honest, Janice isn’t really that good looking.”

In an exclusive interview given Tuesday to popular gossip site and intellectual vacuum TMZ.com, Yahoo! revealed that its budding relationship with the much younger search engine Bing may not be as picture perfect as initially reported.  According to Yahoo!, the much more juvenile Bing is carelessly wild with its search queries, regularly leaves the toilet seat up, and watches TV into “ungodly hours” while texting its friends.  ”I’ll admit that I was attracted to Bing’s youthful energy and boyish good looks,” said the more mature search engine.  ”But the more time I spend with it the more its starting to bug the hell out of me.”  For its part, Bing fired back in the comments section of TMZ later that day, claiming that Yahoo! “nags way too much, chews its food loudly, and still won’t admit to deleting my episodes of Venture Bros.”
