Cash for comment vs. Google Affiliate Ads

The cash for comment affair was an Australian scandal that broke in 1999, concerning paid advertising in radio that is presented to the audience in such a way as to sound like editorial commentary. John Laws, a shock jock radio presenter for Sydney talk back, was accused of misusing his authority as an announcer. (Wikipedia)

Is it just me, or this (no doubt clever) new innovation from Google does sound similar?
