Word got out that you didn't care for the Lotusphere 2008 OGS speaker Bob Costas and they have since banned any American sports related content to your IP address.

Just kidding... I didn't care for Bob Costas either.

An alternative is at myspace.

oops, broken link: try this.

Thanks, Ed. This works.

When AOL is involved, it's usually a good idea to expect a whole lot of stupidity.


Ah, you've stumbled into AOL's never ending march to spread mediocrity to all the corners of the world. They'll fail over course, because they don't let non-us sites view their mediocrity - but then, that's all part of the plan.

Never mind Volker. The ads this year were seriously lame!

...now think a second about how Chinese internet surfer are feeling ALL the time...

This reminds of a joke (old, ages old) where a guy orders a website and when he receives the offer, he tries to negotiate on the price by saying that he doesn't need worldwide accessibility, but only local. :-)

@Ragnar: It's only a year ago that a client tried exactly that with me - and I'm pretty sure he was being entirely sincere about it.

Not that my prices are that bad....
