Yes. He does have Asperger's Syndrome which is why the ad is running on Wrong Planet. It will stop running on the 15th.

The documentary about him is playing in NYC. WrongPlanet is mentioned in the ad in the New York Times.

Wish I could just pick up and fly over there for that.
I gotta wait until it reaches my area way out here in the sticks.

So Alex... any comments on ad blocking here at WP.

The ads don't bother me too often... sometimes... but I wouldn't want to do something that cuts revenue here.

p.s. I'm gonna get a check in the mail to you... today if I can remember it! I like my WP hat and t-shirt I ordered off CafePress!

I'm very tired of that add to. I would much rather see the add that has the dancing green alien.

a lot better than that @#$^% ad for "Are you an HR professional?" (or whatever...)

The woman in that cartoony ad just triggers my hot-button hatred of b!tchy office women, particularly HR ones who are out to protect management, not employees.

....but I digress.... :oops:

Now that I've blocked that ad, I can see how often it comes up. On every page hit, a banner begins to appear there. With that image, the banner vanishes. Since I have no other banners blocked(here or elsewhere, I only got adblock for that one banner), I know that it must be blocking that one.

I've never seen the ad on here. In fact I've never seen a single ad with a photo on wrong planet, for me they have always been just word ads.

I went to see Billy The Kid last night.
