You know what I hate about the internet?
Pop-ups. I can't stand pop-ups. They have pop-ups about pop-ups. They have talking pop-ups. They have those annoying little pop-ups that are pretty, but are in your way so you can't see what you're doing.
So then you get one of those little toolbars that are supposed to block the pop-ups, right? And they do, they really do. Unfortunately, they don't block the pop-ups that say "Lose up to 30 pounds" or "Warning: Spyware!" No, they block the "New window links" You know, the windows that come up from clicking on a link that you actually want to view? Ugh, then you have to click the little icon and it's all a big mess.
So you figure, "Oh well, that toolbar was faulty, this one seems like it'll work." But then it doesn't. So you get another one, then another, then another. Finally you have so many, that you don't have enough window room to do what you needed to do in the first place!
So the pop-ups keep coming...
and coming...
and coming...
unil you decide to just ignore them and you gather so many on your little start-bar that the internet just crashes.
Now you are doomed to click on that little red X button forever. So you say, "hey, it's not so bad, I'll just keep X-ing them out!" But now, they have a new kind of pop-up. The kind that appears, so you rush to that little red X, but oh no! It dissappeared and you just X-ed out of your site! But to make matters worse, it reappears... the horror.
Or the type of pop-up that, no matter how many times you click that X button, it won't go away. So you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to enter the tast manager. What a worthless piece of crap that is.You want to click the icon that describes the pop-up, but it's not there. You X-ed it out, but it's still there...frozen. It's frozen right in the middle of your screen and there's nothing you can do about it. They are the pop-ups that end their "life" by freezing and obstructing your view. I call them, suicide poppers.
The only way to get rid of them is to... yes... X out of what you're doing. >_<
Then, a new kind of pop-up appears, the "Internet Explorer has to shut down, send error report?" system notice. So you choose to send the error report, but it's just another level of burecracy in this CIA we call AOL, absolutely pointless.
(by the way... I use Earthlink, but that's beside the point)
Sadly, this is the cycle of internet pop-ups. If they only knew the torment they were putting us through...
Personally? I'd rather deal with telemarketers...
...they ask for cookies ^_^ |
