"That's a facetious argument. This website is free. We pay to ride the subway and should not have to have more ads thrust in front of us."

So I take it you only read free newspapers and magazines, eschewing the capitalist dogs at papers like the Times because they dare to put advertising in something you pay for.

And I guess you avoid most non-broadcast television since you are paying for that and yet much of it has advertisements.

Stopped going to the movies since they show previews before the movies you've paid for?

Never take a taxi? How dare they put signs on top of those things that cost money?!?

The list goes on and on. Advertising supplements the income from fees for many things; it doesn't have to completely replace them.

The Met on Smith is terrible. Talk about smelling bad, no selection, and old, stale food. That place has plenty of that, but nothing you'd want to buy, not that they have hours that make it easy to shop there.

I don't know who this guest person is, but the fact that he keeps disagreeing with himself is pretty funny.
