FARGO, N.D. – A man who said he was fed up with his cellular phone service went to a Fargo mall and started hurling phones across a store, striking an employee and causing more than $2,000 in damage, authorities said.

Guess he was really fed up with the annoying banner ads. I know I am, because it bugs the hell out of me when I get Mfop2to work but Verizon adds an annoying 2 line ad with extra spaces that reads:

One of the things on the agenda this weekend, now that we’ve returned home, is figuring out how to strip this annoying text from my moblog posts, and possibly getting it to appear in the #links section on the sidewall instead of as a main-body post. I may have to create a new sideblog to do that.

I’ve got some other macros I’d like to figure out, too.
