Hey Brad,
I can see that confusing people is not what we should be aiming for :) Would it help sooth your mind when there is a clear distinction between content and banner, even if the look and feel is the same? (I can imagine that you could accomplish this by doing the banner at full site width, for example) Just thinking out loud here, because I can resonate with your objection to this particular design - but at the same time I recognize that community members have been asking Fundraising to make the banners less 'in your face' and 'ad-like' (which is by far the obvious way to make sure nobody gets confused about the seperation).
Best, Lodewijk

Personally, I really dislike banners that try to pretend to be content. This one makes it look like the page is an article titled "To all our readers in the U.S." rather than a page with a banner on it.
