That’s a good 80% of the monstrous pickups in my neighborhood.

The ad was paid for by the Barbers Hill Education Foundation, which has contact information on their website. I sure hope nobody decides to tell them how they feel about this.

Leopards, face-eating, and whatnot.

I see what you did there.

Gift link for the NYT article if I did that right.

If you are surprised by this you probably have a poster of Ayn Rand on your wall.

This is the kind of stuff you see on a Netflix series and think, "OK they've really jumped the shark this time."

I know a guy like that too. Okay, it’s me. I have to ask the doctor to let me be lying down when I get a shot. But at least it’s not as embarrassing as passing out in the little chair and have a 115 lb. nurse trying to hold me up before I hit the floor. That has happened more than once.

Yah and cold fusion is right around the corner.

They honestly never bothered me too much but I have to say if they ever succeed in defeating the ad blockers it will be hard to go back now that I've seen this side.

Honestly, I never bothered to install an ad blocker before today. I just figured ads were tolerable. This move by YouTube got me to switch to firefox and install ublock origin and oh my is it glorious. I can wait 5 seconds for my video to start since I am used to ads anyway.

I want him to get the help that he needs. Not because I sympathize with him to any degree (I don’t). But because I want him to stop ruining everything.
