On: Advertisers Escalate Banner Ad War

Close, but I think more correct is buying a magazine, then putting it through a magic machine that removes the ads, and draws moustaches on all the pictures or Tatjana Simic. All this before youve opened the magazine. What you get ISNT what you took off the newsstand.

What do you do with a drunken sailor, earli in the morning?

Well, according to Shanties from the Seven Seas, by Stan Hugill, you can:

Put him in the long-boat till he gets sober
Keep him there an' make him bale her

Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him
Take him and shake him and try and wake him

etc...
