Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
It is closer than we think. Amazon has bought so many companies and plans to buy more that there wonât be a market anymore. What happened to the FTC?
I wonder if they realize just how many of us totally ignore all ads anymore? We adjust our computer screens so they donât show those irritating flashy ads around the sides; we automatically âtune outâ when the TV/radio show transitions to a commercial; and we automatically delete/block emails and texts that donât come from someone on our contact list, that ID a company or a cause, or whose address is just a first name â our friends with those names donât send messages that way. And, those ads that show up pushing something we researched online just get laughed at â by the time they show up, we have either purchased the item or decided against it. My recommendation to companies is to stop paying so much for irritating ads and put some of that money into making sure they include all the pieces needed for assembly, that all the pieces are the right size and color, and that the directions are clear and complete.
In one of Heinleinâs young reader books, âBetween Planets,â there is a scene in which the main character gets into a cab and there is a screen blaring ad after ad. He pays the driver to mute the sound, but the TV screen couldnât be turned off. He saw the future and it is now.
Shades of the prescient movie, Idiocracy. âPrivate Joe Bauers, a decisively average American, is selected as a guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program but is forgotten, awakening to a future so incredibly moronic heâs easily the most intelligent person alive.â

About the same time Google Maps on my cell phone told me to take a right turn at Taco Bell instead of using the street name.

Itâs been happening for a long time. Bit by bit, too slowly to notice until you look back and compare.

Itâs viral. Even gocomics has ads in the page header. Gotta find some way to survive.
