You Are All Prostitutes

And your point is?

Holier-Than-All Editor:
You see any "brand partners" here?

Well I do remember the (now gone) 'Attention Advertisers' link.

And I may be cynical (moi?) but I am pretty sure everyone has their price.

Publisher Types:
No one "sane" enough to have money would pay my price for this shit. (No one would pay a dime, I'd guess.) but whatever.

Would be nice to get back the US$5.00/yr. those pricks charge me for storage ('cause I insist on huge picture files & just won't stop typing crap) but then I couldn't bitch about it.

Gives me half an evil idea 'though; Take the Google bastards up on their ad offers, & then abuse the heck out of whatever shows up. Most of which would probably be reactionary delusion/idiocy based on whatever horseshit gets blockquoted here.

Nah. One column of idiocy is enough. And we can't mess w/ the "look" after the literal minutes the staff has spent achieving it.

As far as "Attn Advertisers", I blame Sitemeter.
