Let's face facts: Parts of the Internet are fucked up beyond repair, and the poor spider who has to untangle the web is in for a real shocker. Just browsing the Internet tonight, I cannot believe how many pop-ups have popped up.
Yes, they all drive us crazy. Yes, I know that some companies are trying to make a living. And yes, I realise that some are just making dumbasses of themselves. Oh, how they infuriate me and millions of others out there. They should be made illegal, especially on MP3 sites. MP3's 4 Free.net got shut down sometime last year - shame because I used them regularly to get my MP3's. But if anything they were the biggest piss-takers. What happened every time you were on their site for more than aboyt 15 minutes? It only fills your fucking Favorites folder full up to the brim with about 12 folders and Internet URL pages. This caught me twice and I was not pleased. I sent an e-mail to them with a screenshot of my Favorites menu "dropped down" - and they did fuck all, well why doesn't that surprise me?
Anyhew, back to the matter in hand, and as I say, pop-ups are just out of control on the Internet. OK, so is pornography and MP3's and a whole lot of other stuff, but come on, get real...flamin' pop-ups are the worst! The Internet IMO needs to get some sort of organisation going where:-
- Companies are either prosecuted or fined for annoying pop-ups.
- Companies could be shut down for good if pop-ups continue after warnings (I'm sure you get my drift on this one - enough said
) - A complaints department is readily available to listen to complaints about sites on the net, and for that department to investigate and action, quickly and efficiently.
The worst pop-up offenders are the ones that have the goddamn cheek to take up your whole screen, and not allow you to close by pressing Alt+F4, or even bring up other Internet Explorer active windows you may have running, or even bring up your Start Menu.
Something needs to be done and fast. This may be a useful resource for virtually everything in this world, and I appreciate the fact it's around etc etc etc, but if ever the saying God Bless The Internet is true, then I'm sorry but I just do not agree with it, yet alone believe in it.
