Star Telegram Gets Worse Just When You Thought It Was Impossible


I like the hard copy of the Star Telegram but its web site is horrible. There is about 2 square inches of relevant material but the rest is a mess of advertising and stale material.

Tonight hit an all time low point when a "flash" type advertisement popped up on the screen - a HUGE ad that covered half the screen (see above). The Dallas Morning News has been whipping our arse with flash ads for three years but now the ST has joined in. But the drive-me-insane moment came when I finally found the "close" button on the ad only to have it not "close". So it sat there obstructing half the screen so I had no choice other than to actually read it. As you can tell, it was an advertisement for an event that ended yesterday.

Good job their there, boys. Good job.

good job THERE, not their
You might want to change it but no big deal, please don't put this as a comment - we all make those kind of mistakes - we read them back & immediately wonder how we did it. I due it all the time. I probably did it somewhere in here.

When they left, two hours later(time enough that the HO's and Trollup"s should be GONE) NOT! They are in traffic, my child is waving out the truck window like everyone else, when apparently two HO/TROLLUP'S/16YO? TAKE A FIVE DOLLAR BILL FROM THE GUY IN FRONT OF MY HUSBAND. THE HO'S/TROLLUPS THEN RAISE THEIR SHIRTS TO EXPOSE THEIR BOOBS.

Didn't you say you use Firefox? Get the Flashblock, Adblock Plus, and Filterset.G extensions. You'll never see it again.

11:34PM, those two girls have found a way to earn money. I'm sure you complain about the kids who vandalize because they don't have a job. Well, two enterprising young women are doing the best they can.

Why do you think this issue is one sided? Those girls know full well what they were doing. Or is is because of your daughter seeing *gasp* human breasts? She'll have a pair shortly. Way to go making her ashamed of her body. I'd also consider it child abuse taking a child to a NASCAR race.

But we all know what your real outrage is. Your husband got a erection for the first time in ten years and you can't stand it. I'll bet he even tried to plunge your folds. I've got some flour if y'all need it.

Lady, I was at the race all weekend.
I saw too many older women with their children next to them flashing their boobs for TSHIRTS from TMS LugNuts (they are the ones that shoot the tshirts into the stands with air cannons).
So don't turn this into some dateline to catch a predator scene because you are paranoid.
I don't agree with what any of these ppl were doing in either scenario because they were all too intoxicated but by the sounds of your comments you were quite intoxicated at the time you wrote it.

11:34 I understand your anger. Girls or women who flash their breasts at anyone for anything are trash with no class. I would definately let my daughter know she's better than that. As far as the "men" in your story go. Men are men. They think with their "heads" instead of their brains.
