Ok, You're Getting on My Nerves...
Ok, for some time, I'm sure you've been familiar with the bothersome pop-up ads, every now and then, whenever you get online. At first, it was like...no biggie. But then, the ads have been multiplying as if they're rabbits. Pretty soon, it starts to feel like you've spent more time closing the pop-ads than you did online, such as chatting, surfing the 'net or checking your email. You thought that was bad.
Well, nothing is compared to this new "technique" that's been happening. I thought it was only happening to me until I started to ask my friends about it. Just at the last nanosecond, when you're getting ready to click on something or hit that Enter key, a pop-up ad suddenly appears. Then, you clicked or keyed a button and, of course, you're taken to another site. Don't you just HATE that?!?!? Aaarrrggggghhhhh!
It's like somehow the pop-ad just KNOWS when you're gonna click the mouse or tap that Enter button and just decided to make a last minute (really, a last nanosecond) appearance. Ooooo! I certainly hope that this will change in the near future. It just sucks to deal with ads and spams.
OMG, don't even get me started on spams. It's like every morning, I spend a few minutes deleting (and reporting as spam) those about penis enlargement pills, Viagra, porn sites or whatever, 'special' mortgage rates, lottery notices, "hi, I'm so and so, please send money, you'll get money back", patches and others.
Speaking of penis enlargement pills, does it pay to be stupid? I read an article yesterday that the court was in favor of the class action lawsuit against the makers of penis enlargement and breast enhancement pills, to the tune of millions of dollars. (When I get home, I'll post the link for the article, since I don't want to run the risk of pulling it up in case it's not work-safe.) So, consumers who bought these pills can partake in the settlement. Ok, so, you get to be stupid and buy these pills, with the hope that it'll work and then at the end, you get money because you didn't get the desired results?!?!? Anyone care to explain that to me?
Hello, I'm sure these bottles, like other herbal pills for vitamins or weight loss, have a label, stating that they're not FDA-approved. So, that should have given you the hint that it's not gonna work.
My father is a nurse. As I was growing up, (well, from the time he became a nurse), he would tell me which stuff wouldn't work or what was ridiculous or dangerous. Penis pumps...dangerous, as it can and will tear the penile skin. Enhancement or enlargement pills...ha, what a scam that people just blindly charge up a storm!
Of course, I could go on and on about stupidity and lawsuits and elaborate each of them. I just think it's stupid for someone to do something and then s/he gets something or doesn't get something and then turns around and sue the company. For example, smoking cigarettes and then later get cancer and then suing the tobacco companies. ??!!!??!!?? Or like that person who spilled hot coffee on his lap and then sued McDonald's. Sued McDonald's and won because there wasn't a warning that the hot coffee could've scalded or burnt his legs. H-E-L-L-O! Hot, the adjective before coffee, is the keyword.
Ok, I know I'm rambling now. ta ta for now...
