Break the internet! We don't need it anyway!!!!
Do you have a router as part of your network configuration to connect to the internet? If yes, then AWESOME. If no or you work at a place that is not smart enough to do this for you, then you suck.
Kill the internet: or at least parts of it.
Do you hate Advertising? I mean banner ads and such? Well, I can give you a hint on how to stop your delicate eyeballs from being infected with them.1.) Go into every browser options screen you have (I have at least 3 browsers on my computer and sometimes the wrong one boots when I click something) and disable the dreaded THIRD PARTY COOKIES. When have you ever been at Wal-Mart and a stranger with a Gieco shirt gave you a trust worthy cookie for you to eat? NEVER!!! And if you'd had taken it you'd have died at age 3!!!
2.) If you use Windows, don't use Internet Exlporer. Fucking chumps... GET IT TOGETHER AND REALIZE THAT THE REASON THE INTERNET IS SO SUCKY AND DANGEROUS IS BECAUSE MICROSOFT THINKS OPEN STANDARDS ARE DUMB AND THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT BECAUSE YOU'RE ADDICTED TO THEM LIKE YOU ARE TO EXXON AND THE EASTER BUNNY!!!! Instead, try Opera, Firefox, or even switching entirely to Mac or Linux. And don't think that your ISP's "special" browser or Maxthon will protect you, those are all gank versions of IE. *shivers*
3.) *this is the beautiful point where your brain orgasms at the sight of "This website was blocked!"*
Use Firefox's "Page info" to find the web servers that host most advertising smut (but not smut advertising, cause that's just fun). take this information and enter it into your router's settings called "Block sites/services" or something. If your router blocks based on keywords, then enter the middle section of the web site (example: ad.firstadsolution.com -> firstadsolution) otherwise just put the main part of the URL in (ad.firstadsolution.com). Keep doing this and go to differnent sites (news sites work well at finding most of the offenders) until your banner ads come up broken and battered. Be warned, if the site you're looking at keeps their ads on their own server, then killing the ad server will also kill the whole site. Most sites don't do this because they would have to pay someone to integrate the ads into the page and it eats up their own precious bandwidth, although it seems that more artist's websites with ads are structured this way (and you should not hurt an already starving artist, should you?).
Soon you will be basking in the joys of signifigantly less advertising.
