  I was just gonna sic this subject on you all and leave it alone, but ....

  "clutter" sucks.  Advertising that inserts itself into everyday
life..Obnoxious.
  For example:  When you travel across the US, some states do not allow
billboards and then you come to a 'billboard state'  You no longer see the
countryside, you see the billboards instead...Some states even allow
Neon-lit billboards....Now I ask you, does that intrude on the enjoyment of
life?  Maybe not for everyone...some people go... "Oooh, Great!  Something
to look at.." because they prefer billboards to open countryside.
  Some don't see the harm in adding a few lines of script to every
page...."You don't HAVE to read it, you know" and "what's the harm?" and
like that..
   But watching a boxer with some corporate tatoo on his back or reading a
message on the internet with the device makers tag line included...they do
it because we just let them without thought.  Maybe Apple sells an App to
remove their message saying "sent from my I-Phony" ...
  Me, I was just thinking about that crap for some dumb reason as I sipped
my Yuban from my Gevalla with H2o from my Sureflow pump out of my DOW PVC
plumbing.
