What pop up ads? I don't see any adverts, pop up or otherwise anywhere on the internet. (Firefox + Adblock Plus + NoScript).

AdBlock and AdBlock plus are wonderful things.

Is it wrong that I laughed hard at the second option in the poll? The image of someone reaching inside their monitor and grabbing the advert and strangling it with an insane grin on their face made me laugh. :lol:

But it confuses me at the same time. :?

It's hard for me to do, and think of most things that drive me nutz without the thought of a little humor anymore :lol: . It was meant to be both serious, and humorous.
