Nope, I haven't. And I've been trying to find the source of where this submission came from. Google news only has one article on BBC buying up Google ads - and it's this Slashdot article.
So, the only mention of BBC buying up Google ads I could find was this url: http://news.google.com/url?ntc=0MZA1&q=http://yro. slashdot.org/yro/04/01/28/049235.shtml%3Ftid%3D126 %26tid%3D149%26tid%3D153%26tid%3D95%26tid%3D99
To the submitter, if you are out there, where'd you get this information from?
According to the newspaper (the Sun), Lord Hutton criticised the BBC and its reporter Andrew Gilligan over a broadcast suggesting Downing Street inserted a claim that Saddam could launch WMD within 45 minutes.
"I am satisfied Dr Kelly did not say the Government probably knew or suspected the 45-minute claim was wrong before the claim was inserted in the dossier," Lord Hutton is reported as finding.
"The allegation reported by Mr Gilligan that the Government probably knew the claim was wrong or questionable was unfounded."
As a result, the program's listeners were given a misleading impression that the Government "embellished" its dossier.
The British newspaper, The Sun, has gotten its hands on a leaked copy of the report, from which this above information is drawn. Dr. Kelly killed himself after it was claimed he was the one to give the 45 minute quote. Therefore, the BBC is complicit.
As a MMORPG junkie, my 2003 highlight was FFXI. The lowlight was Star Wars Galaxies.
The non-Asian market saw the release of the polished and stable FFXI, bringing with it a dynamic player-run economy, an interesting and intruiging world, and a fun combat system with new twists.
Yes, the keyboard controls take some getting used to, and PvP isn't due until March (last projection - and the reason I've gone back to DAOC currently), but why was it the lowlight out of every computer game released this year?
Actually, he's said those famous last words a bit differently. Most 'fanbois' will exclaim that a game will look too good to not play, and it will omfgpwn all other MMORPGs. At least the parent only marks himself down for a month or two - the usual 'honeymoon' period.
...my first-born to anyone that can write a program to get rid of these intrusive advertisements.
And yes, it's sad state of affairs that, at this point in time, I'm willing to sell my first-born to keep my MBs. But hey, read the URL of this site. I'm not likely to get a first-born.

I was reciting lines for the characters, before they did themselves - it's that bad.
Yes, I agree. Being able to recite lines from a Harry Potter book is quite bad.
Yes, poor Mr Goatse Man.
Maybe this is the exact same reason he can't find a date. I mean, it couldn't be for any other reason, could it?
I guess that depends on whether you use them or not.
Now it's +5 Funny. Hooray for the cavalry!
Offtopic? What idiot is moderating at the moment? Do you have ANY grasp of humor?
That's the point of the parent post. He doesn't use Outlook but got infected anyway via other means.
What? I have to RTFA? I can't handle that much multi-tasking!

No FFXI in Canada yet. WTF?
Why not either go across the border to buy it, or if that's more than a half day trip, buy it online?
I live in Australia, and although FFXI will most likely not come out here (no idea why not), I've been playing it for a few months now.
Bah. Insert a after the second last paragraph - "misleading impression that the Government "embellished" its dossier.
I'll go to a new source other than the BBC, since they are obviously trying to skew the news surrounding the case by buying up these Google results.
From the Sydney Morning Herald:

2003 highlight:
Duke Nukem Forev...oh, wait.
Honest question - why was FFXI your lowlight?

The black dot was on the hard hat? The hard hat that is on your head, right? The same head where your eyes can only see what's in front of you, right?
Well, looks like your employer had your best interests in mind.
Eh? I always thought the name was a joining of the name "Simon" and the word "moniker" (meaning "nickname").
Therefore, the "si" would be pronounced like the "si" in, well, "Simon".
If simoniker is Italian, well, that's a different kettle of fish.
I wish I was a lawyer. Then I could sue these 2 idiots because their stunts offended me, undermining my profession.
Is that some kind of record? You used the same post twice in the same thread, and scored both a +5 Funny and +5 Insightful out of it.
Probably because the ads start tomorrow, so I'm told in the article.

Left for 2 weeks for bacteria to pre-digest it?
Suddenly, I don't feel like eating zombies anymore...
And we Australians are careful not to make any sounds like a sheep, for fear of New Zealanders.
And doing things that might be illegal in your state (like going on a killing spree)
I don't think I want to visit a state where it might not be illegal to go on a killing spree.
Can I have his stuff?
Could the episode appearing just now, out of the blue, be part of their masterplan?
EXTERMINATION is near!
