Take comfort in the fact that every time someone types out the phrases "should of (sic) complied" or "play stupid games win stupid prizes" a spirit appears like in A Christmas Carol and shows them the future where they die alone without ever having known the love of another living being.
We hear you, we see you, and we know - as you do - that you're a miserable sorta-excuse for a human being who will never know a moment's happiness let alone be tolerable to any other person. Your existence is a cancer on the world and everyone forced to encounter you, even for a moment, is worse off for it. And unlike this woman shot down in cold blood, the moment you die will pass entirely unnoticed and unremaked upon. It will be like you never existed, and you know every word I said here is true. That's why you act the way you do and talk the way you do - because at night, when you're alone, you know all of this. The only thing that never occurs to you is that everyone around you knows it about you, too. You think your act fools anyone, and that's the scariest thing to you: the possibility that people see you for the coward you are.
They do. We do. Sleep tight. ...
It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
If you're grasping for anything to feel good about right now - and that's a very difficult thing to find - feel good about the fact that not everyone is as much of a spineless, collaborating coward as our elites. Total strangers will risk their lives to stand next to you. ...

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.
Phoenician in a time of Romans says:
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…

Here, Ed, add this to your "death of the empire" file

Matt says:
@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!
Remember kids, flash is born of the security hole.
