Google AdSense can GFY!

Ugh.

After a year of carrying their ads like a freakin' cross, and having to feel like a sellout for doing so, Google AdSense emailed me to let me know they had discontinued my AdSense account.

Although they never specifically noted what the problem was, they sent me some smiley-smile lame-ass email.  I amassed $30 in ad click revenue in over a year, so I'm not really sure what stick went up their ass that made them shit on my birthday cake and take my money.  Even though it likely would have been over a year, minimum, before I reached the $100 payout threshold.

I really don't understand it, but hey, it's Google's world and I just inhabit it.

So I followed their link to file my appeal, with the caveat that it might take up to ten days to receive a response.   Amazingly, the reply was sooner.  Ten minutes.  TEN MINUTES!   Wow, you'd think someone was waiting for the damn thing.

Naturally, my appeal, after being given a whole eight minutes or so of deep thought and analysis, was denied.  Of course, what could you expect?  Without any information at all, how could I possibly file a decent appeal?  Seems kind of retarded, like asking me to file a book report on a book I've never seen.

them: "Would you like to appeal something we know but haven't told you about?"

me: "I'm sorry, I scratched my nutsac in the produce section at Hy-Vee.  Was that it?"

So, what it really means is this: no more friggin' ads on my blog...

and Google AdSense can GFY.

[that's um, go "f" yourself....I cleaned it up for the kids]

Seriously.  Eff off.

"Google AdSense...let us put our ads on your blog, before we put our member up your ass."

again, follow the trail...

Rumor has it, someone is going to be posting everything he has by The Who over at Blank Frank's place.  It will take a few days, but if you like The Who, Yahtzee!!

Please follow this to the And Your Bird Can Swing forum.

Peace,

16] Love Is A Woman [live]
17] Ding Dang ["It's OK" rehearsal, 1976]
18] Love Is A Woman [SNL, 1976]


Here's the quick assessment:

Essentially the tracks are broken into three groups.

Demos, which are the most interesting here.

Studio Alternates, which are moderately interesting.

Live, which are truly for completists only.

Overall, the sound quality is shaky.

Hope you enjoy,
