[Closed] Does advertising work?

It certainly pays... Facebook and Google revenues dominated by advertising...

DezB's post much funnier than mine, however...

I've started a petition for it to be government policy that all squirells should have their own jetpacks

I can't really see the point in that unless we can breed jet-pack ready squirrels and strap them on to us (say one per wrist and ankle) and let them fly us to work while we just relax and read the paper or catch up on STW posts. Also,as the squirrels would be doing the piloting, i assume that we'd be able to go to the pub, get hammered and be flown home by our squirrelly pilot-chauffers.
And all for the price of a bag of nuts.
