The banner ad that facepalms are made of

I don't know if using this constitutes a cheap shot, but I knew I had to post it as soon as I saw it.

You can't deny it's a touch ironic.

That reminded me, that I still had to cancel my subscription.

Also the banner needs more Kane&Lynch.

I may be wrong but didn't you apply to work there?

Lol
I wonder if the higher the score you give constitutes more cash.

nicojay: I applied to a lot of magazines and big corporate sites (and did some freelance for IGN, even) before I discovered the joys of indie blogging. I'm confident that had any of the sites accepted me before I found Dtoid, they would have fired me by now.

I have to consider turning off adblock plus on dtoid because of the constant funny ads which seem to pop up around here.
