Ads are the best part of life, I can't wait until I can get a chip installed into my brain so I can get the ultimate targeted ads.

    I got mine yesterday, actually.

    Now, every flat or curved surface I look at is instantly overwritten with ads! It's lovely, let me tell you. No more white walls, no more blue sky, no more white clouds. Truly, my world has gone from the dull to the endless creativity of marketing departments the world over! I couldn't be happier.
