In direct line of descent from @Man (remember him?), comes this:

And the puffy vests, my god, the puffy vests...

Which also appears in the midst of the screaming outrage surrounding CmdrTaco's reluctant decision to whore the site to Mammon.

Which brings us all the way back to Kevin "still smilin" Ryan's infamous NY Times comment from almost a year ago:

"... online publishers must increase the amount of space devoted to advertising from about 20 percent to something closer to the 60 percent seen in newspapers. There is not enough advertising on the Web ... and it's not as intrusive."

This rattled my cage back then, and it's rattling still...

@Man said it first - later quoted by both Doc and Dr. W. in chapter 4 of that book:

"When you think of the Internet, don’t think of Mack trucks full of widgets destined for distributorships, whizzing by countless billboards. Think of a table for two."
