    For the past few days on Bigsoccer I keep seeing a banner ad that says "Shoot the Paparazzi" showing Brad Pitt's head on a cartoon body running from some guy with a camera. It's so stupid that I might actually click on it. Apparently I could win a free laptop.

    In related news, on another site (I don't remember which) I saw a "Shoot the Werewolf" banner ad showing a werewolf bouncing around the ad with a bloody human corpse in the background.

    That ad scares me. Brad Pitt's head is not proportionate. They could have done a better job with the photoshoppin and then thus not have had to scare anyone. Atleast not so much so.

    What I want to know is why I can't shoot Brad Pitt instead?

    I just saw the ad again, but now they want to give me a $250 Wal Mart gift card. That's a big difference between the laptop they were offering earlier. So I shot the paparazzi guy, then it sends me to a page where I apparently have to start filling out stuff. I stopped there. Does BigSoccer get money for me clicking through? Is that how this works?

    Back in the day, yeah. But clickthroughs don't yield too much money now, so i've heard.

    They had one a week or so ago where you were supposed to "Shoot the Terrorist". Some moron started a thread complaining about how "insensitive" this sort of thing was and how it "promotes hate" and blah, blah, blah.

    So I guess shooting kidnappers and beheaders is out of bounds on humanitarian grounds but nailing a photographer is just good fun.

    BTW now you get to shoot the duck for a laptop. Shouldn't someone start a thread about how insensitive it is to kill cute little duckies, and how is spreads hate towards water fowl?

    Eggy isn't offended unless Chelsy is offended.

    Chelsey is a vegetarian too I think so she'll probably be offended ergo Eggy will be offended. Case closed.

    Whelp, good to hear that you won't be pissed about my time in Toronto. And here, I'd been worried about having to tell you and my actual boyfriend.

    One down. One more to go. A chick's job is never done.

    Chelsey you need to quit lobbing up all these softballs. Poking fun at you is almost becoming way too easy to bother.
