There are no billboards in the middle of the highway either.
One could argue whether the ones at the side of the road are distracting or not. (meh, perhaps not the best analogy but you know what I mean)
It seems to me like everything in the 'plugged-in' society is, to some degree, distracting. ADD has become a way of life.
Better to live it with less links to click on.
I'd worry about creep too with something like this:
first it's just ads on the screensavers and then the next thing you know, starbucks is paying authors for product placement!
Hyperbolic I know, but still- ad-creep!
