Greyscale, thus, is extremely contagious, far more so than Ebola (which is spread through bodily fluids, usually blood), making greyscale more like anthrax or smallpox.
|
|
From what we know about greyscale in the books, children have a better chance of surviving greyscale than adults, but even Shireen Baratheon was left disfigured from the disease.

So I was more than a little upset when he caught a bad case of greyscale.
|
|
Now you know what it's like trying to find a virus on a greyscale microscopic image.
|

It is nearly impossible to maintain black-and-white absolutes in a world that operates in greyscale.
|
|
Ser Jorah only gets better with age (especially now that that whole greyscale situation has cleared up).
|
|
It still uses a rudimentary greyscale interface, like the one you'd find on a first-generation Pebble.
|
|
If you make greyscale moody R&B, consider using a common phrase written in all lowercase letters.
|
|
One final word of warning: If isolated, the infectious agent in greyscale would be a bioterrorism risk.
|
|
If Samwell Tarly (John Bradley-West) can cure Jorah of greyscale then we can totally patch up Drogon.
|
|
Ser Jorah has survived numerous battles, been cured of greyscale and is now carrying a Valyrian steel sword.

If this most mysterious process weren't the cure for greyscale, it would also make a pretty delightful candle.
|
|
Here's what we know: It remains unclear if any treatments for greyscale are effective, aside from some wizardry.
|
|
Despite its high contagiousness and fast appearance after contact, as far as we can tell, greyscale progresses slowly.

He's another popular one with fans, and after he's just recovered from that pesky greyscale his death would be suitably shocking.
|
|
The first image is the original image, the second is a greyscale version, and the third is the colorization by Algorithmia.
|
|
Could that be Ser Jorah Mormont, last seen leaving Daenerys and searching for a cure for his troubling case of greyscale?
|
|
The man who cured greyscale, found dragon glass, and is hopefully listening to Gilly has plenty to offer this war. Bro.

|
|
None other than Sir Jorah Mormont, who we last saw taking a fond farewell from Khaleesi, with greyscale advancing up his arm.
|
|
And, seriously, what in the Seven Hells is greyscale, and why is Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen) basically a poorly moving rock now?
|
|
There are no colors either, since the NeXT computer Berners-Lee used to build WorldWideWeb only supported greyscale images at the time.
|
|
He shows kindness, bravery, and skill by successfully curing Jorah of Greyscale, an agonizing disease that's said to kill almost every patient.
|

We last saw the Khaleesi's devoted advisor sent to find a cure for greyscale or go fully Fifty Shades into the disease.
|
|
The visceral performance felt completely fresh, albeit even those with a taste for punishing greyscale techno were likely reaching for their earplugs.
|
|
Jorah came in praise of Sam's heroic greyscale treatment, but Dany ruined it by admitting she had executed his father and brother.
|
|
Earlier this season, he even figured out how to heal Sir Jorah Mormont from an advanced, thought-to-be-fatal greyscale infection.
|
|
And yet how much do we really know about greyscale, the plague that citizens of Westeros fear but do not yet understand?
|
|
From the available evidence, greyscale would seem an insidious infection that is most likely caused by a smallpox or HPV-like virus.
|
|
Upon finding out Ser Jorah is his son, Sam tries to find anything he and the Archmaester can do to cure his greyscale.
|
|
But, screen-grabs from the episode show more details on what exactly goes into curing greyscale according to Archmaester Pylos On Rare Diseases.

|
|
Miraculously Samwell Tarly is able to cure Ser Jorah of his greyscale, and Ser Jorah returns to Daenerys' side once more in Dragonstone.

|
|
One of the most mysterious puzzles on Game of Thrones is greyscale, a strange disease that causes human skin to become stone-like.
|
|
Also, we have a bad feeling that Jorah Mormont (who already has a terminal case of greyscale) could well meet his end fairly soon.
|
|
Jorah informs her he's come down with a nasty case of Greyscale, so she welcomes him back before sending him off to get well.
|
|
Based on a key screengrab by a dedicated GOTer on Reddit, it appears that Sam could be able cure Jorah's Greyscale by using dragonglass.
|
|
Sam reminds everyone what Reddit has been saying for a whole year now, which is that Shireen Baratheon's greyscale was slowed down by maesters.
|
|
The 10.3-inch screen has a resolution of 1404 x 1872 at 224 dots per inch and is capable of 16 levels of greyscale.

|
|
The Citadel also turns out to be where Jorah has been living, now locked away from the world, where his greyscale can't hurt anyone.

Technically, I suppose, I should argue that Sam is a winner for having cured Jorah's greyscale, in a manner that impressed even the Arch Maester.
|
|
If Ser Jorah Mormont can make it through that greyscale operation on the last season of Game of Thrones, he can make it through anything.
|
|
Many different kinds of infectious agents cause skin diseases, but in the case of greyscale, only a few types are likely to be the cause.
|
|
Like greyscale patients, patients with leprosy may become obviously deformed with time, and isolation limits transmission, but the parallels between the two conditions end there.
|
|
That said, if you have yourself a Faith Militant troupe or a little thing called Greyscale, it might be time to review your life insurance policy.

|
|
But a reminder: Jeor's son was none other than Jorah Mormont, the same lovelorn knight currently wandering Essos in search of a cure for his greyscale.
|
|
Featuring a few forthcoming and unreleased tracks by de Witte herself, alongside stormers from the likes of Luke Hess, it's a sterling hour of greyscale glory.
|
|
Once the infectious agent is isolated, work can begin immediately on a greyscale vaccine — or, more likely, a series of spells meant to halt its process.
|
|
He says it's totally okay that Gilly didn't get credit for discovering the big plot twist because he never got credit for curing Jorah's (Iain Glen) greyscale.
|
|
His ominous statement, along with his increasingly worsening Greyscale taking over his entire body is giving us clues at a future major plot lines, as Buzzfeed writes.
|
|
Over the course of Game of Thrones, we've already met a greyscale survivor, one who's mentioned in this episode — the late Shireen Baratheon, daughter of Stannis Baratheon.
|
|
What greyscale does is ravage the mind, leading to the bestial colony of outcasts that attacks Tyrion and Jorah when they attempt to pass through the ruins.
|
|
But he can utter no more Tyrion Lannister-sanctioned sweet nothings before Daenerys sends him away to figure out how to get rid of his greyscale. Dany!

|
|
Jorah was absent for a season due to debilitating greyscale, and when he beat the disease all he wanted was to go back to serving his queen.
|
|
Over the course of that record's six pieces, he explores greyscale ambient landscapes, insectoid funk, cosmic jazz, and grease-hazed kosmische, all united by his contorted playing.
|
|
Here are the three most likely to cause problems: In Jorah's case, greyscale appeared at the inoculation site within a day, suggesting rapid transmission without penetrating injury.
|
|
Well... there's still Ser Friend Zone, Jorah Mormont, searching for his greyscale cure, and perhaps the show will force us to watch a few more scenes in Meereen.
|
|
Anthrax and smallpox can kill someone in days, but greyscale is insidious, getting worse over a long period of time, though it may never kill the infected person.
|
|
As wars got planned and men with greyscale got skinned alive, Game of Thrones Season 283 episode two also gave us some resolution to the show's best unrequited love.
|
|
Sansa in the show has stepped into Jeyne Poole's role in the books, for instance, and poor Jorah has the greyscale that was meant to go to Jon Connington.
|
|
It should be easy to spot, because most of the environment is greyscale, from the white of the glacier ice to the dark grey of the sea and rocks.
|
|
Once the mood is set with an extended intro, things subtly pick up steam with the introduction of a distantly reverberating industrial creak alongside punchy, greyscale dub techno stabs.
|
|
"Mist" isn't all one-note, though: the producer manages to find room for chromatic vibrancy within its greyscale sound palate, helped along by dynamic recordings of chamber music instruments.
|
|
It isn't until season six that Ser Jorah finally tells Daenerys how he loves her, but his worsening greyscale forces him to leave her side and find a cure.
|
|
Given the high skin contact contagiousness for greyscale, surgeons would be prudent to wear full protective gear including a full facial mask while performing this procedure (safety first, Samwell).
|
|
So, tune in next week, as we watch a lot of men wield heavy swords even as Arya, that little girl with greyscale, and Lyanna Mormont obviously steal the day.
|
|
Its only purpose was to remind us that Dany had been taken by the Dothraki, that Jorah and Daario were on her trail, and that Jorah still suffers from greyscale.
|
|
Sam did Jorah a huge favor when he cured him of greyscale, that disease that slowly turns you into a stone person and makes you go mad until you die.
|
|
At the same time dark pattern design will ensure the opt out — if there is one — will be near invisible; Greyscale text on a grey background is the usual choice.
|
|
With cinematic style and Hollywood-worthy VFX panache, the film follows a thumping electronic track down from a greyscale skyscape down into a nameless city, filled with predatory surveillance lights.
|
|
With each of the seven songs exploring suffering in so many forms, it's to be expected that even the greyscale universe of Wounds will have moments of sharp, bright expression.
|
|
The grouchy semi-villains aside, the main cast is really Zoe, Becky (Kerry Ingram, whom you may recognize as the greyscale-ridden Shireen from Game of Thrones), and Jade (Manpreet Bambra).
|
|
Out of genuine respect for Jeor, Sam risks his life to rip the greyscale-infected skin off Jorah, one inch at a time, in the most dangerous and disgusting manner possible.
|
|
However, Sunday night's episode of the HBO series jogged our memories when Samwell Tarly (John Bradley-West) asked if he should send word to Jorah's (Iain Glen) family about his greyscale.
|
|
Musically, I'm really happy to hear a more playful, freaky, and funky stream of tracks emerging out of the raw house and techno greyscale we've been hearing for a while now.
|
|
Specifically, he came down with a terminal case of a leprosy-like disease called greyscale, the circumstances of which are almost identical to what the protagonist of Princess Mononoke goes through.

|
The next time we see Dickon 2.0 he better be at the Citadel groveling to his greyscale-healing brother, who could teach him a thing or two about humility (and staying alive).
|
|
And he does this, despite the fact that he's risking his life by exposing himself to greyscale, risking getting booted from Oldtown, and could very well kill Jorah in a grotesque way.
|
|
Apparently, the only reason greyscale has been "incurable" all this time is because the maesters couldn't be bothered to look up a cure and follow a few simple (albeit extremely disgusting) steps.
|
|
But don't count out Swiss-Army Samwell — the book-shelving, bedpan-cleaning, liver-weighing maester-in-training who followed up last week's dragonglass discovery with a possible cure for greyscale this week.
|
|
There, greyscale has the mythical origins in an event known as "Garin's Curse," where a Rhoynar prince named Garin called down a plague upon the Valyrian conquerers who tried to enslave his people.
|
|
We're not sure how David Sims, the famed photographer who shot the original campaign, would feel about Cobain's tagging, but it sure is a bold and bright addition to the usually greyscale ad.
|
|
Considering Sam's recent dive into the Citadel's secret archives unearthed the cure for greyscale and a hidden cache of dragonglass under Dragonstone, we can't wait to see what useful plot device they'll discover next!
|
|
The device features a big 7883-inch e-ink display (with a 2200 x 1650 resolution and 16-level greyscale) and Wacom digitizer that allows you to sketch or make notes on your documents.
|
|
Still, Shireen's skin changes as a result of her greyscale — limited to one side of her face — are actually more suggestive of an inherited skin condition with a mosaic pattern, perhaps with delayed onset.
|
|
But Sam won't give up on Commander Mormont's son, and sneaks his way into Jorah's chamber in the middle of the night to try something he found in a book that could stop the greyscale.
|
|
It's a simple greyscale operation, and there's no environment or set of social relations or really any of the other information that is supposedly necessary to create the perfect fantasy setting for your roleplaying game.
|
|
They've had the likes of Dominick Fernow's greyscale Vatican Shadow project, the silhouetted dancefloor destroyers in SHXCXCHCXSH, and the Raster-Norton-affiliated Kangding Ray try their hands at magnifying their own darkness over the years.

Exquisite photorealism is only half the story with Miami artist Ashley Oubré's stunning greyscale illustrations, often of nude figures lying prostrate or face down on the ground, picture-perfect images of loneliness, abandonment, and grief.
|
|
He lost the faith of his beloved Khaleesi, Daenerys Targaryen, and when things had a shot of turning around, he got greyscale, a terminal Westerosi disease that eats at the flesh and eventually destroys the mind.

GoT fan and foodie extraordinaire Joy Huang introduced the world to the Greyscale Cream Puff on her colorful Instagram page on Sunday, and neither our viewing parties nor our appetites will ever be the same again.
|
|
To understand what's going on with Jorah on Game Of Thrones, we gathered every single thing you need to know about greyscale, from what the symptoms are to the leading theories on how to cure it.
|
|
Spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones season 7, episode 2 One of the bigger foci in tonight's episode was on Jorah Mormont's developing greyscale infection, which was teased last week in one of our favorite scenes.
|
|
Jorah Mormont is also doomed to die—his greyscale all but guarantees my man is going to die saving the woman he loves—but this doomed rescue mission seems like a waste of a good death.
|
|
We've got thumping greyscale techno from BNJMN and Or:la, Cremation Lily gets all kosmiche, there's more deep goodness from Lobster Theremin, and Felix Dickinson and the rest of the Dedication dudes send us deep into disco.
|
|
Since then, she's written screenplays, two novels, starred in HBO's hit television series "Entourage," published a book of photographs, and recently unveiled a new YouTube series called "Greyscale" in which she covers different museums and galleries.
|
|
"After watching the latest episode of Game of Thrones, I was inspired to make these choux pastries, color the craquelin with dark cocoa (idea courtesy of @emcdowell), and call them Greyscale Cream Puffs," Huang captioned her post.
|
|
As we know, Jorah's storyline didn't end there in "Stormborn;" he got a visit from the baddest maester-in-training around, Sam Tarly, who arrived bearing a heavy book that he believes contains the cure to greyscale.
|
|
She touches on Samwell Tarly's gruesome effort to beat back Jorah Mormont's struggles with Greyscale, and in the process highlights what may well have been one of the smartest cinematic flourishes to date on Game of Thrones.
|
|
So far, there have been a lot of stomach-turning moments on this season of Game of Thrones, but possibly the most disgusting scene from the first two episodes was Samwell Tarly cutting greyscale off Jorah Mormont's body.
|
|
Samwell Tarly, curer of Greyscale and someone we thought was a badass feminist, completely talked over Gilly while she was in the middle of revealing one of the most important pieces of news in Westerosi history: Jon's lineage.
|
|
And while the HBO favorite makes greyscale sound utterly morbid and fatal (because it is), Kat Von D turns the somber shade to goth beauty at its finest — trumping what we know to be the traditional lip kit.
|
|
She dropped a bread crumb in the form of a ring, and is currently being tracked by a duo consisting of her boy toy (Daario) and her lovelorn, greyscale-ridden admirer (Ser Jorah), so maybe they'll find her.
|
|
Per a study Sam swiped from the maesters' library at the Citadel, the spread of greyscale can be stopped by peeling off the scaled skin and applying a special salve to the raw flesh of the affected areas.
|
|
Tasha: Speaking of places we'd rather the show didn't go, the sequence where Sam Tarly sets out to cure Jorah's greyscale by cutting it off his body feels like a callback to Ramsay Bolton's nigh-endless torture of Theon.
|
|
There's moments of staticky abjection and greyscale darkroom grit, but the record's main suite is named after the North star, forever a guiding light to those lost in darkness—a way out for those searching desperately enough for it.
|
|
Dragons, zombie dragons, globe-trotting bastards, reunions, pregnancies, ice battles, fire battles, greyscale cures, lineage revelations — the abbreviated season, which began with Arya eradicating House Frey, has been more overstuffed than the son pie she served Walder last year.
|
|
The last time we saw Jorah Mormont, he was saying goodbye to Daenerys Targaryen as he headed out on a journey to find a cure for his greyscale, a usually fatal disease that leaves skin looking and feeling like stone.
|
|
There's also Wind Down, a unique feature that limits notifications before you go to bed and also gradually makes the display a greyscale blend of black and white, to make it easier on the eyes and to encourage you to unplug.
|
|
This week, he's helping treat Jorah's greyscale with an ancient remedy he found in a book somewhere, which involves peeling off some of the infection (and the pus-riddled grossness beneath) and then applying some sort of something to it.
|
|
And yet, his return to the show is sandwiched in with Tyrion's meeting with his brother Jaime for the first time since Tyrion killed their father, and Daenerys reuniting with her old friend / traitor Jorah, who she thought had died of greyscale.
|
|
Across the Narrow Sea, on a mountaintop denuded of drama, we have a simple scene enacted as though with Mattel action figures, where Jorah Mormont confesses his love to the Khaleesi, reveals his fatal case of greyscale, Daenerys's heart breaks, and they part.
|
|
Sam starting the process of treatment for Ser Jorah Mormont's greyscale in "Stormborn" made for one of the more outright disgusting segments of Game of Thrones in some time (and yes, I say that even while remembering the season premiere's chamber pot montage).
|
|
However, as we saw in season seven's "Stormborn," Samwell uncovered two case reports (in The Study of Rare Diseases by Archmaester Pylos) in which excision of affected tissues was curative, although Pylos likely acquired greyscale during the procedure, causing it to be forbidden.
|
|
So while the Jenners of the world are rocking bedroom eyes on their lips, we'll be over here channeling our inner goth with Kat Von D's latest: a pairing that would give Game of Throne's greyscale a run for its money — in a good way.
|
|
Or you can try one of the apps like Greyscale or SPACE, created to dim or change the color of your screen in customized shades, You might find, like we did, that the colors of the real world suddenly seem a little bit brighter.
|
|
Though the episode doesn't really explore whether Sam's experimental treatment of Jorah Mormont's (Iain Glen) greyscale is leading Sam down the path that Qyburn took, the cut from Jorah's mortified flesh to the contents of one of Hot Pie's (Ben Hawkey) creations, was pretty terrific.
|
|
On this week's EW podcast breaking down the GoT premiere, Darren Franich and I concluded that Jorah is presumably being contained like a medieval leper due to his contagious greyscale — he's being kept separate from the population and given basic humane care as he waits to die.
|
|
We're back in King's Landing before you can say "The feature-film debut of pop sensation Britney Spears," and it seems to me like we could have just stayed here and held off on the 90-second greyscale explainer video until later, but it's not my show.
|
|
We also saw Jorah Mormont freed of his Greyscale death sentence, Samwell Tarly renewing his commitment to the Maester's life (or did he...?), and Euron Greyjoy parading his collared sister around in King's Landing while Yara's cowardly brother Theon is outed for the disappointment he's always been.
|
|
Elsewhere, we also saw Jorah reunite with Daenerys for a minute — not sure you should be hugging Ser Greyscale like that, Dany — and the return of the Hound, Beric and Thoros, who all happened to land in an Eastwatch cell right before Jon Snow and his team arrived.
|
|
For instance, despite close proximity to those affected by greyscale — known to many on Game of Thrones as Stonemen — Tyrion was untouched and unaffected, but Jorah developed a lesion within a day of skin-to-skin contact with a Stoneman (as seen in season five's "Kill the Boy").
|
|
Lyanna Mormont was the breakout badass of season six, and I'm willing to bet audiences would love to follow her through the various wacky situations of ruling Bear Island... especially when a certain ex-slave trader cousin with an advanced case of greyscale shows up and turns her world upside-down.
|
|
After seasons of hearing about how devastating greyscale is and how there's no consistently proven way for someone to save themselves once they've contracted this ultimately dangerous disease, Jorah Mormont is about to get treatment through a mixture of skin surgery plus pine resin, elder twig bark, beeswax, and olive oil.
|
|
APPLE WWDC: APPLE UNVEILS MEMOJI, NEW PRIVACY FEATURES AND MORE Some of the controls are similar to those unveiled by Google last month, when it revealed plans to have phones go into "shush" mode when placed face down on a table and have the screen show only greyscale colors late at night.
|
|
Its poster featured a greyscale copy of Ingres's Grande Odalisque, yet this doesn't hint at the astonishingly diverse — and at times obscure — selection crammed in the display spanning art history from the specific religious function of medieval altarpieces, through to more wider-influencing developments such as the emergence of print and photography.
|
|
This greyscale image was taken on March 2, 2019—exactly the same time when the probe was hammering, albeit futilely, into the Martian surface (the digger got stuck on an apparent rock, and NASA is currently trying to figure out what to do—and no, the pull-out method is not an option).
|
|
All metafictions aside, Sam sneaks into the cell where Jorah Mormont is slowly being devoured by Greyscale and gives him an arduous, gooey chemical peel that is the episode's other best scene because it does not involve a war council, and it makes a dramatic, visceral moment out of somebody getting a tattoo.
|
|
Certainly, the video for "Home Sweet Home" captures a slice of London that is slowly seeping through the cracks of time, with images of bygone night-time locations like London's People's Club combining with the greyscale imagery of London's bridges – which, as we all know, are some of the most evocative in the world.
|
|
While much of the wider doom pantheon has its foundation in gritty urbanism—be it Black Sabbath evoking the greyscale smog of industrial Birmingham, Pentagram and the humid drug blitzed inertia of Virginia, or Saint Vitus and the Los Angeles heat haze—the Wiz' have always had both feet firmly planted in claggy Dorset mud.
|

Other winners: Melisandre, for knowing how both her and Varys die, for some reason; Sansa, for understanding very basic things like "People need food to live" when everybody else in Winterfell forgot about them; the long night, for apparently returning in the near future; Jorah, for not dying of greyscale; Davos, for keeping everybody from fighting.

The exhibition seeks to gather as many works as possible, and a year ago the Rubens House launched a campaign specifically to find six paintings: a series of canvases on The Five Senses, dating to 1650 and known to us only through a greyscale image in a 1975 auction catalogue, and the still life "Garland with Butterfly" (1652).

Zim's world of greyscale T-shirt logos that read "BAND" and citizens so numbed by TV that they fail to react to the giant mechanical alien cable bursting through their living room was an apt parable for a nation leaning full-tilt into a trauma-fuelled "progressive stupidity," to quote the title of the Season 2 DVD.

Other losers: The Sand Snakes, for obvious reasons; Littlefinger, for obvious reasons; Sam, for continuing to get stuck in the most disgusting situations; Varys, for almost certainly getting burned alive at some point in his future; the Game of Thrones cosplayers I saw at Comic-Con, for failing to recognize the sheer cosplay magic that is greyscale Jorah.

HBO has also released individual shots of some of our favorites, including Ser Jorah, who is forbidden from dying because he only just reunited with Dany after being cured of greyscale, and WE CAN'T TAKE IT. Also poor Tormund, who needs more scenes of unrequited lust with Brienne, because it's one of the few joys we have left in the world.

JORAH:SAM: Literally what an animal would try Who would've know the cure for greyscale is exfoliation And according to the Game of Thrones production design team — which has released pictures of the book Sam is consulting, along with some of the letters seen throughout "Stormborn" — the salve to be applied post-scale removal is made of, well, some pretty basic stuff.

Before we close the book on Westeros—and while George R.R. Martin is still in the midst of actually writing the books the show is based on—we have to wrest power from the newly crowned Cersei Lannister, cure Jorah Mormont of the greyscale he picked up in Valyria, and unite Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen against the undead menace North of the Wall.

In his time there so far, he has: unearthed a cure for Ser Jorah Mormont's case of greyscale, a disease thought to be terminal and permanent; determined that Dragonstone has a deposit of White Walker-killing obsidian/dragonglass and instructed Jon Snow to go mine there; and stumbled upon a document detailing that Rhaegar Targaryen had annulled his marriage to Elia Martell and was married to another woman.

But the most interesting part of this book (transcribed by a fan) is the partially obscured mentions of dragonglass having medicinal properties: ...dragonglass as a cure for ... his great work on illnesses and diseases ... whatever little harm incurs from the ingestion ... little known harm to the gullible (people who try to cure themselves) ... better spent on practical treatments... After reading this book, Sam somehow learns how to cure Jorah of his greyscale — perhaps with dragonglass.

The Most Important Season 5 Episodes Cheat Mode: Go straight to the end and watch "Hardhome" and "Mother's Mercy" Season 5, Episode 5: "Kill the Boy" Honestly, this whole season is pretty hard to watch but there are some important scenes to remember, like Sansa and Theon's first encounter since he became Reek; Sansa thinking she could trust Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) because of Littlefinger's (Aiden Gillen) advice; Tyrion seeing his first dragon; and Jorah (Iain Glen) getting greyscale.

Because humans hate being bored or confused and there are countless ways to make decisions look off-puttingly boring or complex — be it presenting reams of impenetrable legalese in tiny greyscale lettering so no-one will bother reading it combined with defaults set to opt in when people click 'ok'; deploying intentionally confusing phrasing and/or confusing button/toggle design that makes it impossible for the user to be sure what's on and what's off (and thus what's opt out and what's an opt in) or even whether opting out might actually mean opting into something you really don't want… What advertising hell on earth is this?
