Remember when you surfed the internet watching whatever you liked without pop-ups or ad-ons being bumped up your ass, well now it seems evweryoneis selling their asses for some crappy publicity.
Its not that bad when its just a little ad-on on one corner of the screen, but its really annoying when unexpected popups come out of nowhere to completley distract you of what you where doing, then the ad-ons that chop half of the screen or that make you have seizures that leave you blind "cough" gaia "cough".
I hope new sites to be more intelligent about this kind of stuff.

Websites need money.

Besides, get firefox and adblocker if they piss you off so much.

It's called business.

Besides, the internet has always been like that for as long as I've known it.

Oh, boy.

I've always had the problem of pop-ups, even when I first got it around '03-'04. The google toolbar really helps for blocking pop-ups. I would recommend it.
