Google and AOL

I never really "got" AOL.  It always felt to me like they were dumbing down the internet for people too stupid or unwilling to learn how to surf the web - though I could be wrong.  I can see where Google benefits from AOL using Google as their search engine - that part of this new 1 billion dollar deal is understandable.  But what urks me is this:

Google.com will promote AOL programming on the right side of its page under the "sponsored links" heading.

If AOL wants to pay Google through their normal Ad Words then fine but I really don't want to constantly be subjected to a stupid AOL ad.
