Did anyone else notice that the Evony ads say stuff like "Play discreetly"?  They really want people to think it's sexy, don't they?
It IS sexy...

There are probably hundreds of kingdom management sims going around the tubes.  They had to give it something that would set it apart.

They gave it boobs.

From what I've heard it's in advertisement only.

It must be working well for them if they've continued with it. I can only imagine how many people click it and begin playing hoping to see more boobs.

BOOBEHS! ME PLAY BOOBIE GAME!
Evony really sucks. A lot of people were advertising sex and porn on that game.

I'm glad I got that Ad Block thing.

Well seeing as they themselves do it, I suppose it's a great place to advertise.

Sad when your game's greatest claim to fame is being nothing more than a bulletin board for porn ads.

Have you seen the latest one? Now the only relevance to Evony is a tiny picture in the top left hand corner.

I have no idea why I get Evony ads.  I only ever go to webcomic sites.  And this.

I doubt there will be a massive 2010 republican resurgence.  Maybe in 2012.  But I've been wrong before.  Anyway, enough on that.
Republican resurgence by the day the Mayan Calendar ends?
It would be funny if the Republicans (as they are now) caused the end of the world.  Course, the world isn't going to end soon anyway.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember
