Online Advertisement Sucks Ass
There's something that's really been pissing me off lately, and that's online advertisement. It seems everywhere on the internet I go, I'm being advertised shitty products, porn, or a virus hidden within an advertisement for either. I realize there are advertisements on my home page, and it really ticks me off, and if I wasn't lazy as shit, I'd get my own domain name free of ads. But since I am lazy as shit, I've just provided you with a pop-up killer. Anyway, back on topic.
First, everytime I check my e-mail, I get about a handful of actual mail, and then about 90 junk e-mails that range from advertisements for credit card companies, job opportunities, contests/sweepstakes, and porno sites. Pitiful is he who actually reads any of this crap, because it's all junk. Especially those infamous few e-mails I get where the subject line is something like "MAX! YOU'VE JUST WON $500!" I don't even bother opening any, because only in a perfect world can you win $500 from sitting on your ass, but I'd imagine that there's a catch...in fact, I imagine there are MANY catches, one of which that costs $500.
Then of course there are times when I will be surfing the net, and a pop-up slips past my pop-up killer. It will look something like this:
It actually doesn't say syphilis, but it says your computer has a virus or spyware or some dumb shit like that. So assuming that this pop-up could infiltrate and scan your computer for these things, it offers you a link to a convenient site that will remove any viruses/adware/spyware on your computer. Yeah. Right. I'm pretty sure that by "glorious site that removes crap" they mean "satanic site that endows crap onto otherwise clean computers." Good thing I'm a finely-tuned bullshit detector, but even if I wasn't I could tell that it's just another stupid ad.
I could go on, but I forgot what I was writing about.
