I could see them putting him in the "Dead" category or the ""Both" category (although he should have his own "Undead" category), but there's no way he goes into "Alive" unless there's some kind of asterisk or something.; 1/30/16, 11:14 AM

Ann, it's worse than that. Forbes says I have an ad blocker, when I don't. I just block tracking sites and off-domain JavaScript. Basically, Forbes wants to let people run malware on my computer. It's becoming irresponsible to link to them. Please stop.; 1/30/16, 11:22 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Maybe you should go edit Forbes's Wikipedia page about it. <— JOKE.; 1/30/16, 11:26 AM
campy said...: Obama doesn't belong in that group. Democrats are never controversial. Only wingnuts dislike them.; 1/30/16, 11:38 AM
Mary Beth said...: I don't think the number of Wikipedia edits indicate how controversial a person is. It looks like a good number of the edits on the page about Hitler are either adding or removing the word "socialist".; 1/30/16, 11:38 AM
Mary Beth said...: It stopped me from viewing it in Firefox but not in Chrome. I use Adblock Plus for both.; 1/30/16, 11:42 AM
madAsHell said...: Adblock?
All you really need is misdirection.
All the advertising sites are re-directed to the localhost.; 1/30/16, 12:00 PM

Who is more popular than The Beatles on Google?

Now I have to look.; 1/30/16, 12:04 PM
madAsHell said...: Interesting....politics, wrestling, and shitty pop music. Kind of like alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. I'm not sure I could draw the Venn diagram for either set.

Hmmm.....ATF......A friend of mine recently acquired a new firearm. He was surprised to learn that the FBI reviews the paperwork collected by the firearm seller. He thought it should be ATF.; 1/30/16, 12:09 PM

eric said...: I assumed the point of this link, like the previous one, was a joke. As no matter what I do, it continues to block me, even if I turn off my ad blocker.

I thought Ann was having some fun with us.; 1/30/16, 1:54 PM

THOSE DAMN LEFTIES ARE DOING IT TO ME AGAIN.; 1/30/16, 2:57 PM
Ctmom4 said...: I am curious about why Roger Federer is on that list.; 1/30/16, 5:14 PM
mccullough said...: Federer is the best tennis player ever and a great sportsman. Don't understand why others are on the list with him and don't know why Jesus is on the list. Mohammed, PBUH, should be on the list.; 1/30/16, 5:41 PM

They ask you to turn off adblockers and then serve malware-ridden ads.
