Thus Comes... The Advertiser!

[beamjockey]

In the manner of those annoying "bugs" that crop up at the bottom of TV screens to advertise programs other than the one you're trying to watch, Livejournal today has introduced an announcement. It clings to the bottom of every LJ page I try to read.




There are probably a lot of guys named Stan Lee; possibly one of them already occupies part of the namespace. Plus, impostors are everywhere. So the celebrity must choose an account name like therealstanlee.

I am tempted to register for etherealstanlee, but my hand is stayed because I can't think of enough schtick to make it entertaining.

Judge Dredd did a Stan-Lee-as-Bruce-Lee parody back in the late 1980s, iirc.

timprov posted instructions on how to get rid of that new bit of crap:

"go to Profile/Settings/Extensions and uncheck "Display LJTIMES."

Edit: Or "Display LJ Magazine" for the English version. Not sure why I'm special enough to get it in Cyrillic."

I don't see that!

Another reason to consider yourself lucky.

I know there is at least one Stan Lee here in Kentucky. He's a member of the General Assembly, and several years ago, he was a candidate for Attorney General.

I just saw the LJ News post announcing that Stan Lee had joined. I didn't realize readership was so dire they felt the need to announce new members, but, it's got to make any new subscribers feel better.
