    Have you seen enough of those ads on the internet yet? You know, those ads that say, "See this video before it is banned!" I want to ask people who click on that link these questions: 1: Who do you suppose is banning a video from the internet? 2: How would you ban a video from the internet? The internet is world-wide - there is NO SINGLE BODY that can ban a video. Just ask any celebrity who has had a sex tape leaked. That ad should track IP addresses and people who clicked on it should themselves be banned from the internet. We'd all be a great deal safer that way.

    What I find despicable are those popup ads that read something like "sign up to get the wall street journal news to your email" with a button that then says "No thank, I want to stay uniformed and in the dark." I kid you not. Degrading, that's what I call those ads. Marc

      Well, what do you expect from the Wall Street Journal, intelligent or decent behaviour? If you do, there must be two Wall Streets.

                I used to feel the same way, but at some point, it stopped bothering me & it is with some satisfaction and glee that I now click the supposedly demeaning button - I know the truth about me, and button was worded like that due to some marketing drone's cod psychological thinking. Rise above it :)

                                It's at times like this I'm reminded of the old saying - the world isn't run by logic, but instead by emotions. I've noticed those particular ads in the last couple of weeks and absolutely can't stand them. I refuse to click on their insulting button, instead resorting to the element-inspector and deleting the appropriate node of the document. - The first time I saw one, I closed the tab without reading the article.

                                "When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon
