Are blondes becoming extinct?

This morning I was minding my own business reading an in-depth review of the Garmin Nuvi 660 after watching a CNET review of it on the Tivo last night. At the bottom of every page was an ad for one GPS device or another. Then at the bottom of page 5 was this:

I thought that was kind of strange and actually clicked on the "play video" (go ahead, you can too.) I showed my wife the video and we both thought it was pretty freaky.

What I didn't notice initially is that the video linked to the HarperCollins site. The video was an ad for a new Michael Crichton book called Next. For what it is worth, the book has received mediocre reviews on Amazon.com.
