Aw crap

So I’m reading a bit of the gaming news from the Madman’s Cafe and come upon this tidbit from the Atlanta Journal Constitution about pop up ads–on Television. Interesting article.

When I did watch television, I fondly remember being able to use the restroom, go get a snack, etc. whenever there was a commercial or two. I really hope that pop up ads on television fail. Otherwise, I foresee an increase in the number of Tycho Brahe “open bladder” deaths.
