t's great that the cage fight at the White House - an almost fatally embarrassing thing in its own right; try saying the phrase out loud - is happening during the NBA Finals, the Stanely Cup Finals, and the Men's World Cup. Unless he dies at ringside, it might be the 4th sports headline on Monday. Emphasis on "might be."
Sure we're auctioning off whatever tiny shreds of dignity we have left as a nation but isn't it worth it to maybe be the top story on Yahoo! Sports for 20 minutes between World Cup group stage results like "Paraguay vs. Turkey" and "Ascension Island vs. Bir Tawil" ...
They're calling this an IPO because legally they can't print up a giant banner reading HEY WOULD YOU LIKE TO HOLD A BAG, YOU BIG FUCKING IDIOT?
Make sure YOU don't miss out on the opportunity to put up 48% of the money for 4.2% of the stock! Book value, $8! ...

Love the subtext, too. "White supremacists orchestrated a mass shooting, but can you blame them? Look at these illegal brown people coming across the border!"

Also, the giant Cialis ad. Says so much about their readership.
Fmguru says:
The commercials on Fox are always hilarious, and aimed squarely at their core audience of 70+ year olds – medigap policies, adult diapers, reverse mortgages, mail-order catheters, mobility scooters. Everything is about decline and impending death. The commercials are more horrifying than the news coverage, incredibly enough.

I hate to break it to you Ed, but internet ads are usually based on your own viewing habits.
Ed says:
That ad is not of the Google Ads variety. I'm 35, it's not quite Dick Pill time yet, I promise.
All of my targeted ads based on search history are for Priceline, camping equipment, and cars.

I recall one time I managed to get my computer hacked with a persistant ad bringing up touts for hair loss remedies, chronic tiredness uppers, and Viagra.
Damn if I know how they managed to get so much detailed information on me, but it was scary…

@Skipper: they look like the sort of folks who own more firearms than teeth.

Peak?
No, I don't think we'll see peak FOX and Reich-Wing lunacy for another 2+ years, during the 2016 Presidential Election.
They're still warming-up.

Ah GNIDA, one of those ad hijacking persistent ads that downloaded a package to slow down your computer and offer ads to help speed up your computer. I got to reverse hack that one. Wound up getting a picture of the author's kitties!
