I’d just like to say that every webpage should have Laetitia Casta and Jessica Alba at the top.
Are you wiping the cookie (or preventing wikipedia.org from creating one), by any chance?
BUT YOU GUYS HE HAS A PERSONAL APPEAL!
Fuck you in the ass, anti-caps fascists.
God I hate it when you’re having a party and everybody’s drinking and laughing and having a good time and Jimmy Wales starts crying and telling everybody he loves them and then makes his personal appeals.
Speaking of, I had a dirty old guy make a personal appeal to me today when I was going to lunch. He needed $12.23 to fix a carburetor on his pregnant wife or something.
Oh yeah, that’s a common problem in the second trimester.
Could you explain this, please? I can’t access Urban Dictionary from here.
It’s a relatively rare erotic practice. Regional preference, I think, involving… well, you know how you can squeeze cookie dough out of its sleeve, right? This is actually more difficult than I thought… might have to backtrack and explain some of the rudiments first. Aren’t there brochures? Where are my taxes going?
Adblock ftw. Or the little x. (at home anyway) Unfortunately at work I’m on a goofy shared work and clicking the X doesn’t persist between browser sessions. And I can’t install adblock.
JIMMY WALES
GET OUT
It’s affected by adblock for you? I want to say it shows up on my home PC, where I use Chrome with an adblocking addon that works for everything else.
I don’t know about the adblock on Chrome, but you can add things to the adblock filter on Firefox.
That said, I’m actually finding that I see the guy’s face even after I’ve clicked the X. Usually, it’ll be back by the next day, especially if I used google to get to the page.
Just a reminder that Jimbo made his money with a Z-list porn site back in the day.
She says in that font.
I love Wikipedia, but when I see Jimmy Wales all I see is a guy who really doesn’t need my money.
It can’t be just the accident of the blue shirt, but this photo reminds me of nothing so much as Smug Bastard, in some way that I can’t quite articulate. It’s the absolute opposite of anything that might encourage me to get out my chequebook.
Huh—that worked. Who’d a thunk it. Thanks. Set up a PayPal account and I’ll send you a dollar.
Clicking on his picture and adding it to adblock does not work. I’ve don’t it a few times. They might have a few transparent gifs over the actual picture. I haven’t looked into it as the next action is to click the small close X.
Someone forgot to tell Dave Thomas.
And look where Thomas is now.
But what if, for some reason, you need to pull up this Wikipedia page?
Well, yes. The point was to get my all-caps post back. So I had to throw something non-capped at the bottom.
I am glad to have found this thread. I was wondering if anybody else has gotten annoyed with the Jimmy Wales appeals … and they now have pictures of him!! The banner ads are very annoying. The progress bar showing the amount of donations is a lot less annoying. I guess it could be worse…such as the ringtone pop up that occurs on Lyics sites. I already tried to click the X in the corner on the “personal appeal” banner. It goes away but only for a while and then comes back about one week later. …
