MOTHERFUCKING POPUP AD TRICKS! Please read...

Pop-up and pop-under ads open a new window when people visit many popular Web sites, often littering the computer desktop with multiple browser screens. Advertisers hope people will visit the promoted Web page by clicking anywhere on the window, although many simply close it by selecting the "X" box in the top-right corner.

But a relatively new feature may make it harder for people to avoid these windows. Using a technique called the "kick through," advertisers can direct a person to another Web site if they simply move their cursor across the pop-up ad--no clicking is necessary.

Gaahhhhhh....... :evil:

I think it's a simple Javascript OnMouseOver redirect. Still I wonder why it took so long for the <EXPLETIVE DELETED> to come up with that crap.

DEATH TO POP-UP SPAM

That shit has got to be illegal, and if it's not, it should be.

Once again I'll preach the joys of Opera and its most excellent "disable pop-up windows" feature, I don't know what I'd do without it. There's no way that I'd visit a porn site without this feature, damn things are infested with pop-ups.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either. :P
