Comments on: A Bad Idea https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/12/18/a-bad-idea/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Wed, 20 Dec 2006 18:58:27 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/12/18/a-bad-idea/comment-page-1/#comment-19231 Wed, 20 Dec 2006 18:58:27 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2006/12/18/a-bad-idea/#comment-19231 Someone had an ad for Olive Garden on the article about the 250 people who got sick eating there. It’s a poor implementation because the match is too simple. They should at least check for key words like “dead”, “sick”, and “indictment” before linking.

Good grief, Charlie Brown…

If so, I think they just found a flaw in that plan.

And I agree with LK. It’s too funny.

There’s nothing wrong with seeing the absurdity of life in this country.

‘Course, there are many who question my sense of humor about these things.
