I don’t have anything to add to this thread. I just thought it had a funny title and deserved to be brought back to the top. ---

CHILDREN! CHILDREN! Behave yourselves! By the way I’ll have a bag of red hot peanuts here. MMMMMMMMM boy! This could get almost as entertaining as that fat thread they shut down. Go to your corners and come out typing! * * * Mark “Think of it as Evolution in action.” ---

## Sake Samurai – I’ve actually thought the same thing as I saw that load up. One of the best… what? I got your joke right off! But you see, you posted in the pit and everyone assumes you are spoiling for a fight. Just like my fat thread. And Mark, if you miss it so much you are free to re-open it. Just don’t expect me to get into that silliness again. Best! Byz ---

Thanks, Byz, those ad banner quotes are really goofy. I’m still surprised at how a couple people thought I was attacking the whole banner and the whole concept behind internet advertising in general. Imagine if I had! ::evil idea taking shape in head:: * * * Hell is Other People. ---

Doesn’t the _Reader_ have any other columnists? Why don’t they get banners? How about a little banner equity around here. Dare I say that this is truly a banner issue? Perhaps we should write a banner headline. But we should be careful not to infurate anyone, especially Bruce Banner (Hulk SMASH!). OK, I’m done. * * * Plunging like stones from a slingshot on Mars. ---

Well the propaganda worked. I told myself that I’d never click on that banner as a kind of silent protest, but then yesterday I could not control myself. I clicked. As it turns out, he’s a decent writer and an OK film critic. I’ve noticed more and more of his reviews linked to the IMDB, so the hype worked. * * * Hell is Other People. ---

Good for you, Sake. I only wish Phaedrus would do something like that instead of resurrecting dead threads to post non sequiturs. ---
