So I was reading primary results, presented nicely as usual by the Times, when the top banner ad suddenly started blinking at me: your personal horoscope for free: click here! in all-caps, in a purple fake screenshot of a Windows screen, with a random picture of a sultry make-up-wearing chick, and did I mention that it was blinking like it was 1999? The ad was put there by my employer. The juxtaposition of this crap with the staid and well-designed tables and graphics of the primary results couldn't have been starker. I can't believe I get paid to annoy people like this, however indirectly. Oh man.
