Offensive image.

[Marcus]

I only see adverts at work, so they don't tend to impinge on my viewing. However, people should be aware that there is no direct human decision to place any particular ad with any video or page - the decision is dealt with automatically by the ad serving software, which just tries to match things via keywords. For instance, the Atheist's Riddle gets plonked next to loads of atheist videos on YT simply because of the "atheist" keyword, and I suspect the particular ad at the start of this thread had "Carl Sagan" in its keywords simply because of the image. It's the same reason why you'll often see ads for scientology.org on ad-supported sites which are eing bitterly critical about the Co$. I don't let it bother me, I see these ads as a way to support websites via the time of people too dull to use adblockers (or, where not technically possible, the built in adblocker that is simply ignoring all ads).

Hmm, why angry, he's right! impossible to understand that twisted mind.

Carl Sagan is my hero, this is absolutely unjust to use his picture like that.

When did he become patron saint Carl Sagan?

His accomplishments won't suddenly diminish because of pictures like that. Who knows, someone might look up who the man in the picture is and find all kinds of enlightenment.

With NinjaLord and Marcus on this one, its just his image. It seems to male people angry sure, but thats what we seem to on a weekly basis, piss people off by showing all the contradictions and fallacys within their beliefs. Its petty revenge in a way, an argument that we have already blasted out of the water on this forum. No need to get messed up.
