So, one of the banner ads on this site asks: Quote:
Is it OK to Unconditionally Meet With Anti-American Foreign Leaders?
paid for by John McCain 2008
| What the hell does this mean? I'm confused. How do you meet unconditionally? How do you meet conditionally? Somebody paid money to put this vaguely sinister, yet poorly worded "sentence" up where people would read it? Does this mean McCain is running out of money?

It means you need to pony up and get a paid subscription so you don't have to see the ads, silly.

You meet conditionally by saying that on your visit you'll only stay in a hotel room that has its TV already set to Fox News when you arrive, otherwise there will be consequences!!!! |

I can't believe in this forum no one commented on the grammar.
Which would seem to be the most substantive comment that ad deserves. | |
