Blizzard already uses the lobby to advertise it's own games via banners at the top of the screen. No biggy there...
Yeah, there's no reason they should do something like that, considering the money is made off the actual product directly rather than advertising.
I just remembered something though. During King's Quest 2, when you peek into a certain hole, you see the most horrifying thing in all creation (in-game description), a PLUG! You are then bombarded with a 30 second or so ad for Space Quest. It would have been horrifying if it wasn't so hilarious.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
