Interesting – it looks like the trademark “yahoo.com” was abandoned back in 2001 by somebody in Massachusetts, so it is available for bidding and the entire string can be used in the ad’s display…

Heh. Catchy title - just in time for Valentines Day. I noticed Ask doing this back in October 2006 (screen shot) If they've re-started then perhaps the tactic works for them!
