C'mon Doogie, I use "pathological", so you have to find a way to put it in a sentence? Give me a break. Look, I'm not Jimmy Stewart and you're not the young gunslinger looking to make a rep. So why don't you just run along? Are you doing this for your high school "stock market game" contest? I have no current plans to follow your ever changing list of multiple picks. You probably are an idiot savant, no need to "prove" it to me. My posts are on numerous boards here, at Yahoo, and Raging Bull. If I were making mistakes, believe me, your fellow NTN losers would have posted about it long ago. Plus, I post for me. Not you, or anyone else. Some of us are comfortable with who we are, and don't need to throw out immature challenges. You want to talk about NTN here, fine. Tell me everything you know. (FUN GAME!!!!)

There is a large discussion about advertising going on amongst the Yahoos. But it got me to thinking. When the trial lawyers turn their guns on alcohol and the purveyors of it, there will be some big time suits and some bigtime settlements. Usually, just to maintain the facade that the lawyers are "helping" society, some community services will be required. If it follows the tobacco scenario education programs will be required and maybe ads portraying the evils of alcohol. What better way to get the message out than the NTN network? You could have a message from the MADD crowd, the "friends dont let friends drive..."ad, ads for local taxi companies (boilerplate with local logos and phone numbers), etc. And just for good measure throw in some ads about the evils of tobacco, currently funded by our tax dollars. We have a perfectly-targetted audience! It would not be the first company to do well by doing good. Liquor and beer companies are already starting to "act more responsibly" so I cant see them pulling all their ads in protest. In fact, they should be behind this program. Every drunk who dies on the highway is another customer...gone forever.
