    Stupid Ads with sound!

    You may have started to come across those bloody annoying advertisements on the internet. You know that ones that are made to look like a Window Screen, saying, "you are the 1,000 visitor AND YOU'VE WON!!" CLick to Win!"


    Have you noticed lately that some of these ads now come with sound? Annoying beeps, or sounds that make you think a program has closed on your computer? This is driving me bonkers!!!!

            I hate the ones that speak.

            "Congratulations, you've won a free iPod. All you have to do is fill out a simple survey and..."

            At that point I've found where I'm going and navigate away from the page

              My Mac automatically blocks all of those.

                  I find myself turning the volume off on my computer just to avoid the sound. Frankley, when I surf the web late at night, they kinda scare me. Just surfing along, minding my own business and all of a sudden, "You've won a free Nintendo Wii."

                  Damn it, I just wanted some nice quiet surfing.

                    The emote that yells:

                    HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

                      Any of you see the Angry German Kid video with him trying to watch 2 girls 1 cup? The moment that emote said "Oh my gaaaaawd" I lost it laughing. Karr too

                        Meh.


                        I've seen a really good "techno" remix of Angry German Kid, done in the style of the 1.21 Gigawatts one, all stuttery and glitchy. It was good.


                        And gray is correct. Those annoying popups have been around for a few years, at least.

                          Click here to download and install AdBlock plus as a Firefox extension, and you won't have to deal with that stuff.

                              I think the point is, if you had installed some sort of ad blocking program two years ago, you would never have seen ANY of those stupid ads in the first place.
