No way, that woman's sticking around for the long haul. :D

Does anyone know if that Richard Gere movie, The Hoax is in theaters now? I've been searching the internet but I'm not a very good searcher. If only there was a way to have such information added to the messages on the internet that I'm already reading all the time, that would be awesome.

<i>Edit:</i> THANK YOU, Geoff! I see it!!

Totally.
Every time I see a copy of the Jesus Camp dvd on a store shelf, I punch it into shards. I'm careful not to get caught, so I don't have to pay for it and it ends up as a loss for the manufacturer... fuckers!

I actually don't mind the intrusive ads. This is America and http://www.geocentric.net/citylight/...erica-logo.gif Geoff can do what he wants. I run 1600x1200 resolution on my monitor so the ad rarely interferes wihttp://home.earthlink.net/~macquarri...p-rightnow.gifth what I'm trying to read. There's only so many ads you can have on your home page, and I do understand the need to make money http://www.home-employment.com/graphics/helpneeded.gif. There's just a fine line and once you've crossed it you have to deal with a lot of clutterhttp://www.marylynnemurray.com/images/back_logo.gif. I'm sure it will be fine in the long run http://i.treehugger.com/new-balance.jpg.

I noticed a thread where the ad covered up the quoted text, it was still in it's block and not running down the left-hand side of the post. Just that.

slop101 04-20-07 04:04 PM

What's funny, and really speaks to the non-effectiveness of these ads is how most of us (including me) had to have BWG's "ads" pointed out to us. I just read his post without even looking at the ads he wrote, assuming they were real and thinking that the joke was only that the ads were a distraction. They are a distraction, but we still don't read them.

I don't see why an ad company recommends a strategy that annoys the shit out of the people the ads are supposed to be targeting.

Chalk up another vote for "this idea sucks."

I am apparently in the minority, but I don't mind them. I do wish we could pay for membership w/o ads, but I only say that to support Geoff. And if these make him more money, I'm for that.
