Let me try to make a post before this year is over. Almost 7 months without posting. You might be thinking that I quit the internet. But you are wrong… totally. There are just so many other things that are consuming all of my time (Reddit et al).

Obviously I am not that a great blogger. No news for several months. Shame on me.

Sadly for him not in the good sense of internet-famous. If you really want to see the nasty details you can find a screenshot of his Facebook wall here (NSFW). Be warned: the photo really is NSFW and might even be considered NSFL.

If you are in the online marketing business as well chances are hight that you also might have had to deliver GIF or Flash banners to online ad networks sometime during your career.
