Today Fark sold entire views of the site’s advertising to ABC for a 20/20 special claiming to show a tape of prime suspect Joran Van der Sloot, as he admits being there when Natalee Holloway was dying.

If you believe stories about missing white girls are crap news, why decide to advertise exactly that to your users?
