I would think that there is a difference between being in a picture on the internet and being "in public". They're not exactly walking around in the streets.
and most people know the easy ones like.5,.3,.25 etc.
I think most people naturally think in terms of fractions, then convert to decimals. Next time you're at the deli, ask for "point eight of a pound". The time I did the guy responded "is that a third?"
All these people who say they don't or would never accept DRM do when they buy video games. A game CD or DVD has DRM (or something similar) and can't be copied. You happily buy those and play them on your PS2 or gamecube. The difference is that they come on proprietary distribution media, which can't be copied, but which can be traded on played on other similar devices. People cry that they need to back up their Spiderman DVD but don't seem to care if they back up their GTA PS2 game. It's only when people discover they have the ability to copy things do they get up in arms.
(I also don't hear too many people complain that they can't listen to their new hardback book from their car's stereo.)
Sporting events and movies aren't free either. But you don't see them having a problem forcing ads on you once you get there. By your thinking, I should get to see the Texas Rangers for free since I have to look at the Tom Thumb and Target billboards on the homerun fence. I'm not saying what they do is okay - it sucks. But, ads are the American way.
ps. a while back my ReplayTV showed ads when you paused viewing, then they got rid of it when enough people complained. Nothing like unhappy customers to help change your ways.
Apple has already admitted that it doesn't hardly make anything from selling songs from iTunes - so why don't they just cut the price down to.88 too? Or.80? Why do some online stores get to charge less than others? iTunes certainly sells enough to get a discount price.

Funny that this appears one day after Josh drops a popup in the season finale and missed some games earlier blaming caffeine.

this is a case where telling the journalists *IS* the illegal act, and the journalist was party to this illegal act

I can't wait to put my pyramid-shaped bicycle seat on this.
