Oh my.

The primitives complain about the least little things.

Most obnoxious DU ad-bot yet.

I swear... I'm going to take a shotgun blast at my PC speakers if I hear that "HELLOOOO... HELLOOOO" for the animated smileys just one more time.

Wow.  Smileys by the AdBot primitive have sound?

1. I got it for the first time today and it wouldn't have been so bad but the ****er takes forever to load.

Maybe I need to save my password so it doesn't show up when I click onto the site.

2. Yeah, this site is going crazy with ads.

Lots and lots of ads...when you open a thread, you get hung up waiting for an ad to load and then you go directly to that ad. I have never seen so many ads. I know that if I donate, I won't see them. And I plan to donate just as soon as the marginalization of those who want to speak re: Israel/Palestin (which, by the way, is a huge world-wide story and worthy of local comment and discussion) is stopped.

3. I agree.

The "HEEEELLLLLOOOOOOOOOO" drowned out what I was listening to.

4. Donate if you can.

A little money makes the bad noises go away.

Get one of the DU photography contest calendars Skinner has pinned to the top of the thread stack. Looks pretty awesome, and buying DU merchandise gets you the all-powerful ****-off-ad-bots little yellow star.

If donating can't happen, which is entirely probable due to these sunny economic seas we're sailing through, I suggest several swift blows to the head as an alternative. Kinda the same sensation those ads cause, but at least the ads go away once you lose consciousness

5. I heard that on my laptop once and answered the door

The voice sounds exactly like my neighbor. I wasn't signed on at the time. And yes my neighbor does say that.

6. Firefox + Ad Blocker = No shotguns

I dunno.  We know Internet Explorer's blue, because it's owned by the blue Microsoft.

Maybe Firefox, and whoever owns it, is red, and the primitives can't have that.

How DARE Skinner inconvenience the dummies with ads containing smileys that speak to them?  I guess they believe that websites just fall from the sky for them to use without being inconvenienced and without cost to someone.

Maybe Doonze the ghost dog got to a computer and he's trying to warn the DUmmies about Rove's latest plot?

Ha!  Adbot is using that technique where they blast unpleasant sounds at people to modify behavior.  GITMO Underground!

This is why I can't see the ads from Ad-bot.   I only get to see the ads, you folks bring over.
