Dont you just LOVE....

Dont you love those pop-ups and adverts that look like windows Message boxes. Or when they have Buttons or selectors on them and you try to make a choice and it takes you to a web site.
REALLY.. Dont you love seeing a Windows styled pop-up that looks important and you click it to make it do away, and it SENDS you to a net site.

Yeah, my favorite are the ones that come from the top or side of the page, blocking the content until they decide you can read it, especially when there isn't a close button. *******s.

I hate them to, but I truly despise the multimedia version of such flying ads. Now the ads don't just suck, they suck bandwidth.

Oh yes, THOSE things.
Love the idea of NOT optimizing graphics in a AD. Takeing up the WHOLE screen.
1 Question, as windows is ALWAYS willing to give out personal info, if asked by a web site, can an Advert ask for it as a POP-UP..
NOW that would SUCK.

To get rid of those goddamn pop-ups, get Mozilla... the king of pop-up blockers.
