Default SHAME List for Adware Advertisers?

From the 5 Star Affiliate Blogs »

Adware Advertisers to be Publicly Humiliated - Digital CarJacking

Advertisers May Face Public Humiliation over Adware - CNET News.com

"The FTC would publicly announce and publish the name of a company that advertises using adware that installs itself surreptitiously on consumer PCs or by using spyware, Leibowitz said. He would recommend publicly shaming advertisers to the other FTC commissioners if the adware problem doesn't decrease, he said."

Go read the rest then come back to discuss it.

I personally think it's a great idea. It's some of the really big brands that use the Adware and parasitic advertising and I'm not certain they would like the bad PR so it could be a good deterent. What do you think?
