Redlemon

Dude... why are you still seeing popups? Either switch to Firefox or, if you insist on IE, install the Google Toolbar for popup blocking.

Ya, that's what I was thinking, instead of complaining about the pop ups, stop them.

This makes no sense to not vote for someone because of their adds on the internet, maybe look at the issues instead.

Firefox and Google are your friend

Please, decide on the real issues when you vote. Not pop-ups.

I'm not voting for bush because i don't like his sense of fashion.

I'll admit, that part is a good point. Did anyone buy an X-10 camera after being bombarded with popups, or did you intentionally decide to buy another brand because of the popup inundation?

Supposedly, 1/5th of people affronted with spam actually buy something from it. I think the solution is to systematically exterminate that 1/5th. We can send everyone a spam about removing themselves from the gene pool for a low low price of $19.95 and see who responds.

A good start, but how do we make it attractive... perhaps "You are a finalist in the Darwin Awards!! Click here for entry requirements!!!"

There are plenty of better reasons to not vote for Kerry. Here's a new one for me:

The man went to Vietnam and reenacted his own battles for a camera so he could use them later to political advantage. That's pretty sick.

Hwed,

Where did you get that information?

Edit: never mind, I found it on Freeper central.

Of course, all the post says is that Kerry recorded the scene of the battle with a Super8 camera and later showed it to one reporter. If this is the same report that you mentioned, it hardly qualifies as shameless promotion.

Jeff

Blame the advertising company, I'm sure Kerry and company had nothing to do with it.

It's your fault, anyway.


Firefox.

Yes, Kerry took a Super 8 camera with him to Vietnam, and actually took pictures. Yes John Kerry saved the life of fellow soldiers and low and behold he forgot to tape it. Yeah, at 23, he was really trying to ensure that some 37+ years later he could run for president. Get a grip and lets talk issues.
