"Myself, as a cartoon? Oh boy!". I clicked it, I was then taken to this website, which using the wonders of PHP displays the location from which your ISP connects you to the internet. It shows these two examples of cartooned people, it then has some fake comments and prompts you to visit "zwinky.com" to download the program.

Zwinky is loaded with spyware and adware, it's pretty much zango.

Newgrounds is not responsible for the harm that it's users and the advertisers might do too your computer.

just email him, and tell him that he has a shady organisation advertising on his site.

Anal sex is like WindWaker, it is an acquired taste.

Ye but if you use adblock you don't have to support newgrounds anymore. :)

There's nothing like millions of years of trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone.

Holy sh*t! This can't be happening! Actually, Doubleclick, the service that provides ads, is giving us viruses.
