    Sorry. That's what I see.
  • Checking in between bouts of productivity is vastly different than obsessing over a stupid ad. Even if I did sit on my ass all day in front of the computer, I would have been able to find at least one thing less dumb to consume my mind than an ad that wasn't offensive.
