Anybody else feel it’s…well…a bit less than apt that the Straight Dope site is displaying an advertivement for a psychic? Not three inches from their claim to be fighting ignorance?
No wonder it’s taking so long.
Where? I don’t see it. Just an ad for a newspaper.
I can’t see it either (should I be using my mind’s eye?)
Ok. Apparently there’s a different one every time you log on. And I don’t know how this works, maybe Straight Dope has no control over what comes up.
Still…this time I got one for horoscopes.
Hey!! I got it. I kept refreshing on the main page until it came up.
I decided to go ahead and click on it (Might as well give the Reader some click-through advertising revenue)
Wow! The things they can answer-
-Will I get a raise?
-Will I find my soulmate?
-Will I travel this year?
:: I’m getting excited!! :: Yeah! I wanna know! NOW!
I click again. I get some funky looking babe in a… coin operated pyschic machine? Oh well. Now it says-
-Learn what your future holds.
-Are your planets aligned for YOU?
I can’t wait!!
Click again. Time to submit my personal information… :: Shouldn’t they know this allready? :: Oh well…
Name- Asshole
blah, blah, blah.
Finally finish to get a message saying- “Asshole is currently being used. Pick from the following: Asshole 128, etc., etc.,”
128 people have allready chosen Asshole? O.K.
Finally get to the meat… What a let-down. I want to see if the planets are aligned with ME. Nothing. C’mon!! I want to travel! I want to find my soulmate!! Nada.
I did find out that Asshole 001 has been on line for over 40 hours, however.
I’ll check with him and get back to ya.
I knew you were going to do this. But I didn’t tell anyone… you shit!
Heh, Heh… Don’t tell me I’m getting a rep around here.
