Im convinced, that article just hit the bit can.   Not going to post links to places that have malware advertising.

Does anyone know if the sites listed are really safe or not?   I'm thinking of not using that article because I don't trust it.  Really would like to find a better source for newsletter content.

Umm.  Write your own maybe?  I've NEVER liked the idea of using someone elses copy for a newsletter I'm using to send to my clients.  I've always written my own.  Granted, it is a bit of work, but at least it's your own content.
I used to write a monthly article for a local newspaper.  Did that for about 4 years.  It got to the point where I didn't have the time or desire to do it though.

The flash games themselves are not malware, their usually just java or flash or shockwave or whatever. However, these games are designed with causal gamers in mind. IE the morons we deal with every single day that don't know that the email attachment from their aunt Milly (they don't have an aunt Milly) is a massive virus. SO the ads are designed to lure people into clicking on them and downloading things. So its a bad idea.

I'll go so far as to say the primary reason developers create those games is to lure people in to clicking on ads (infected or not).  The adage fits- nothing is free.
