Dumbest ad EVER!

[slave]

Oh wow I didn't know I was broadcasting my IP address to the world now I feel so naked and dirty I better click it..

Haw haw haw haw haw haw haw haw haw haw!!!!!!

Notice how they "cleverly" made it look like a window, hoping some moron would click "OK."  The funny thing is that I was using Linux at the time.

That's funny, all I see on my Linux box is "Ad Removed".     My proxy server has filtered it out.

[psyjax]

You think seeing shit like that in Linux is Obvious and funny, try it in OSX!!!  

[KernelPanic]

Yeah, I saw that a while ago.
I found it highly amusing because how are you supposed to connect to anything if you do not broadcast an IP address?

I suppose they have some sort of proxy, but it's still funny. I wonder how many Win-droids have gone 'oh shit, I'm gonna get hacked' and clicked that stupid ad thinking it was  real warning?

He is actually making fun of the dumb Windows users who would actually fall for such a stupid ad more than he is making fun of the Windows OS. I'm actually glad he posted it because it reminds me that I need to modify my hosts file on this macine to block doubleclick, fastclick and several other ad-sites.

I actually got in an argument with some dipshit over ad-blocking.  He told me that blocking ads is stealing bandwith from the site and that I was a filthy scumbag for using ad-blocking software (when actually all I really do is right click the really annoying ads in Mozilla and hit "block image."  That and I don't let javascript open unrequested windows.)  Sorry, but I refuse to be exploited in some idiot's dubious ad-scheme at my own inconvienience and annoyance, and if that generates "revenue loss" then good, maybe it will send people a message that ads (especially popup ads) are nothing more than unwanted spam and should be relegated to the historical trash heap. Sorry, but I have every right to block that shit from entering my computer and wasting my bandwith.  The internet survived before that garbage and it will survive after it.

(edit) The sick thing is that afterwards the retarded creep added me to hundreds of his spam e-mail lists out of spite and I got over 50 spam emails in one day where previously I got none.  (he runs a filthy email spam ring also and his own dumb "newsletter" called "millionaire's toybox" was part of the spam I got, and it was the biggest piece of shit ever.  He claimed if you gave him 50,000 dollars you'd get back enough profit to put a jacuzzi in every room in your house.  Yeah, that's really believable.  What a dope)

Well XP, you sound like your starting to get smarter/cooler. I will say that you should not use hotmail(if you don't use it then nm). Hey I ain't gonna give you a speech, just try out something like Yahoomail, and use your spam guards. See whether it works better for you.

Actually mine didn't say "Ad Zapped" *or* "Ad Removed" but it said "Ad Removed by XXXX" (my real name) because I used personalized replacement images in my ad zapper.

Maybe XP's just toying with us, tryin to get his rateings up  

Nah...

I bet that anti-adblocker won't anti-adblock a modified HOSTS file and I bet it won't anti-adblock firewalls with built in ad blocking options(like my new firewall..it blocks ads and pop-up windows).  

People wouldn't block ads and popups if there weren't so damn many of them. Sadly enough, alot of those ad banners you see implant a spyware cookie in your system(so it can gather info about your likes to send to the ad companies so they can popup ads that will interest you). That is invasion of privacy...screw that anti-ad blocker.
