MySpace to Feature 'New Moon' Takeover Ads

A giant wolf and a slew of brooding, pale, chiseled-ab-boasting teenagers are set to take over MySpace.

The News Corp.-owned social networking site is rolling out a new, highly intrusive home-page takeover ad for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the much anticipated sequel to the hit vampire movie, which opens today.

The new ad treatment is a first for MySpace, which regularly carries movie advertisers on its home page. In this case, an overlay of a wolf (one of the characters in the sequel is a werewolf) rules the site’s home page.
