Is anyone but me getting absolutely fed up with the "WHITE TEETH NOW ZOMG!oneityeleven!" ads? Teeth are an aggressive thing. In a face they are friendly with a nice smile. but when it's just teeth and gums in a picture, they are very aggressive, and personally, I don't care to stare at someones chops all day while I'm trolling the internet.

What's even more annoying? They're all scams! Especially if they're talking about a "dynamic duo" and how some random person discovered the duo (or heard about it from Oprah or whatever) and you have to order these two "FREE TRIALS" (that you have to give them your credit card info for to pay shipping on)... yea. Total scams AND annoying AND discomforting AND so on and so on...

you'd think that big sites like (the one I see it on) Yahoo would check these and make sure they're not scams. Uugh. I love the internet. Heheh.
I haven't heard about the Dynamic Duo. Where did they find Batman and Robin? And are they holding them prisoner? In that case, I believe the teeth one must be the Joker's idea. I could see him doing something like that.

I see them on Facebook and Hotmail all the time, but neither is really well known for being terribly reputable when it comes to checking advertisers...

The Dynamic Duo thing usually refers to two products they claim work together like a miracle, and leads into the whole "and you can get each with free trial offers!" so they can get your credit card. Meh. But your response made me giggle. I could see it being all Mistah J's idea.

Success! I love that icon btw.
We had a fantastic Harley this year at MTAC. Accent and all, she had it DOWN.

I actually bought my first comic a few weeks ago, and surprise! it was Batman. My favorite quote from the whole thing was
"I can't believe he really died, puddin."
"I can't believe he didn't die the first time he dressed up as a rodent and jumped off of a roof."

I hardly see any ads, because I use No Script. No Script is a Firefox extension that automatically turns off Java, and selectively blocks URLs. If you want certain websites to run scripts, you can then allow the scripts on that website, and THEN have the ability to discriminate against scripts from other websites withing the page itself!

Aaah. That would be nice. Unfortunately I am on a computer that's not mine, so I has no modification rights. But that sounds like a dream. Lol!

You don't say? Well it's a good thing I came prepared!

By loading the whole Mozilla Firefox directory onto a USB flash drive, I can use my browser on any computer in the city! And I'd like to see the system administrators try and stop me.

KYAHAHAHAHAHA!

You have no idea how funny that is when my mind animates it. XD
