Just the one time though.

I think that ship has long since sailed. Or sunk. Titanic-like.

I remember long ago watching a Sci-Fi movie where they interspersed subliminal adverts into streaming media.
They were called "blip-verts" - just an odd frame or two in the stream.
Your brain "sees" it but doesn't actually "read" it.
It relies on our brains having photographic memories (we all have it, it's the recall that fails).
Apparently, it's supposed to be very effective and takes a fraction of a second.

Perhaps they are trying something similar on CS?
It wouldn't surprise me.

Not desperate, just annoyed.
However, if it's controversy you want how about the students at UC Davis voting to ban the requirement the US flag be displayed when the student Senate is in session. Jose Meneses, a recently naturalized citizen spearheaded the movement citing "Patriotism" means different things to different people. While I agree, I also feel the flag is representative of the rights of individuals to believe what they will. Why make optional the very symbol of choice/ freedom your​ adoptive country displays (Jose)? In the sixties the flag was burned/ desecrated in protest of a very unpopular war polarizing a segment of society to enact change but we were still America, still proud of our country. Now it seems colleges (UC Davis/ close to Berkeley no surprise) are bypassing even the symbols of a united America. The flag stands for the freedom and opportunity Mr Meneses sought out when he came to this country, why disrespect it and the many who have given their all in honor of the values our flag represents?
If Mr Meneses or any other coddled college person who needs a cause du jour (involving a symbol my family has fought for and paid a high price while doing so) I suggest they pick another country, another flag, another set of values and freedoms to support and display, or not. If you don't want to embrace what our flag embodies or display pro American sentiment don't come here, we don't need or want you. This isn't where you came from so assimilate without losing heritage but embracing our way of life or repatriate to your country of origin.
For those of you foreign to the US who view this as typical American arrogance, you're not wrong. I'm proud of my country but I've traveled extensively and respected my host countries people, religions, traditions making sure the typical "ugly American" impression was never left behind. If you have something positive to contribute here all the better for our nation. However, if you want to disrespect our country, symbols and ideals .... fuck you, stay home and fight for what you believe in there.

I think it's just marking the spot.

I think it's a St. Andrews Cross so it's probably just a test of the EPS (Emergency Pervert System).

Status: offline 		It would be great if you would respect the rules of the forum and post your political diatribes in the politics forum. That category was specifically created to allow those who want to discuss politics and religion to have their very own whole category devoted to them, and to allow those of us who don't want to read that crap on a bdsm discussion forum to be able to avoid it.

You have certainly been around long enough to know the guidelines. Please have the courtesy to abide by them.

Status: offline 		The big black 'x' is only seen by those 'The Masters' feel need to be sent to re education camps after the invasion.

It was my suggestion, since I wrote the software the detects those with undesirable mind sets.

I have also been put in charge of the re education program.

So, I have to ask, would whips that also deliver a minor electric shock be too much?
