"come inside..." points to a file on your HD rather than on the website. Change the path to the HTTP link and it should work...

Till then everyone else click on this:

Adverts are free speech. People should be free to tell anyone else what the are doing, and that is what adverts are for.

If you are anti-adverts, you are anti free speech.

well, adverts would be free speech if billboards were made available for everyone to fill with what they want. As it stands they just offer a big mouth-piece for the message of those with the money to afford such message - i.e. big businesses with their message of consume more, buy more and put yer brain to sleep with lots of telly! whooo....

Freespeech, as far as billboards go, is the DIY - subvertising as being shown above.

Keep up the good work!

Advertising is the synagogue of satan incorporated selling us crap we don't need.

Your day will come you heathen bastards.

As well as Gods Wrath, I hope the underclasses mug you, burgle you and then buy whatever it is you helped advertise.

God Hates you people.

You make nothing by your hand, yet your bellies are fuller than the man harvesting a field of corn or building a wall.

God bless the Poor!
