    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

    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 :)

      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.

        You are not allowed to post that character combination without paying an elephanting lot of money. Pay now or be crucified within 50 seconds.

                    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

                      What a great idea -- I'll have to try that.

                      Funny, but that's exactly what I did too. I refused to be insulted like that. Marc
