Millions flee as cyclone Sidr hits their umbrellas

Okay, CNN today is all over the umbrellas on their homepage.  The disastre du moment is the cyclone Sidr that is hitting into Bangladesh.  See below how they love umbrellas in their top real estate, just like the earlier post on Chile’s earthquake.

These are not beach umbrellas, but whoever is up on the website action booth seems to be elsewhere mentally.  This AP photo is the only image currently linked to the story.  And, of course, to the right of the headlines they have this ad:

Any guesses what they’re advertising?  While it looks like a Visa ad, it’s actually for “full service broadband” by Ericsson.  There was even a really cheesy Flash-based airplane/glider that flies through the animation.
