MI:III advertising gone too far? - Page 2

**CingularDuality** · 05-02-2006, 02:21 PM

For some reason this thread hasn't given me the option to go to "last unread post" or "last post" since it's been created. Is it like that for any of you? This is the only thread that's like this for me...

Do you use adblock with Firefox? I bet the button is being filtered because "advertising" is in the link. Took me forever to figure out that the word was causing a problem for me.

Indeed I do. That's crazy. Is there a way to remove the word from a filter or something?

It's so hard to think down to that level. Is there a way to ignore a specific poster, like, say, zephyr?

Either you want "advertising" images filtered, or ya don't.. which is it?! You can whitelist TG so that nothing here is filtered. I have Adblock Plus .7 installed and have a little adblock dealio down in the statusbar.. Right click it and select "Disable on tacticalgamer.com." I got the thing in the status bar by going to Tools -> Adblock, then Options -> "Show in status bar."

I do, so let's let this thread die!

Cing, thats happened to me for a while now, with all the threads.

You can see why people freaked out....too damn funny, though!!

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - A newspaper promotion for Tom Cruise’s upcoming “Mission: Impossible III” got off to an explosive start when a county arson squad blew up a news rack, thinking it contained a bomb.

The confusion: the Los Angeles Times rack was fitted with a digital musical device designed to play the “Mission: Impossible” theme song when the door was opened. But in some cases, the red plastic boxes with protruding wires were jarred loose and dropped onto the stack of newspapers inside, alarming customers.

Is anyone going to see this? I'd rather give myself paper cuts while watching Flight 93 than spend a dime on this nut who I'll see ad nauseum on Spike in a year.

Acid · 05-03-2006, 08:09 PM

Looks like a lot of hype.

**Chewy** · 05-03-2006, 09:08 PM

All I know is I'm seeing the movie for Phillip Seymour Hoffman, not for Tom "I can't keep a girlfriend or wife because I'm too self-righteous" Cruise.

Don't forget "while swimming in a pool filled with pirannahs".

Is that how you spell pirannahs? Hmm ...

I thought it was Tom "I can't wait to sink my teeth into the newborn's placenta" Cruise?

I'm going to see it. Got roped into one of these: let's call everyone we know and go out for dinner and a movie things my wife is so fond of. MI:III is the main event.

If I come back saying I'm descended from aliens, you are authorized to shoot me on sight.
