(...) Though drug companies _can_ "promote public awareness" about certain conditions, and advise you to see your doctor for more information -- do you remember Pfizer's magazine ads with a picture of ten crotches? I didn't notice whether the boxer (...) (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: You know what annoys me?
 
(...) Yeah, I was amazed how many ads you get for prescription drugs. Here in Aus I assume it's illegal, 'cos we don't get any (drugs, yes, but not prescription). One thing I noticed is at least they seem to have lots of info about possible side (...) (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: New Site
 
(...) Uh... Karma Police was from the OK Computer album. What new album are you talking about not being any good? Kid A or Amnesiac? Kid A actually did very good, even with very little advertising from the band. Radiohead didn't even make a video (...) (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) AiiiEEEE Cannibal Corpse! You know, those guys don't even take THEMSELVES seriously. They're sort of like the GWAR of gross. Ew. Ew. Ew. Anyways, I've somehow considered "modern pop" to be really an uncomfortable fit with the religious (...) (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) For real. I worked in food service for over a decade and hated it, but you won't see me mocking employees of that industry. How you react to the years spent in Catholic College (12 years in college? For what degree program?) is entirely your (...) (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Radiohead's good, Phish is, Third Eye Blind, 311, etc. I'm not missing out on new music, I don't have a CD player in my car. When my classic rock (...)

(...) I knew about... Karma Police absolutely rules (on OK Criminal). Their new album isn't as good as the last one, too experimental for my tast. (...) These I guess I would want more info on! (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Don't forget (blue oyster) Cult, The Cult, and The Church... (...) If this moves beyond banter to actual hassle, you may want to consider moving it to .debate from .fun... it's a perennial topic there. (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

  Re: New Site
 
(...) Sorry, but all this talk about Christian Rock artists reminded me of when I was 10 and my parents bought me a Petra album because they didn't want me to listen to 'worldly' rock-and-roll. Things like that happening when you are 10 have an (...) (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) ROTFL! I parsed that wrong the first time through, and wow did it come out wrong... Where were all the teenybopper slaves when I was a young angry punk, with loose enough morals to take advantage of them? :) James (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Lots and lots to be sure. I have seen that one advert where the young lady sits on a block or something with the voice-over saying "I am part of a disturbing trend..."
