Pop Ups, The Horror

My name is Indigo Montoya you killed my computer, prepare to die. I absolutely hate Pop-Up ads!!!!! One minute your casually surfing, trying to absorb as much information as possible, links are clicked, you think your close to your 'Holy Grail' of info when bam!!!!! That link you clicked, the link you were so certain would give you your answer, when low and behold a pop-up appears (gambling), but it doesn't stop there, three more little window POP up on your browser (classmates [fuckem'], dating services [fuckem'] and golly, cheaper airfare [no money, i'm fucked]).....you can't close them fast enough....you try ctrl alt delete in a futile furry of trying to shut the mothers down, your computer freezes....did you save your work.....your cursor starts to move again (whew).....you try desperately to save your work. Tense, you think you've cleared them all when alas, one more pops up....it's a biggie and cursor ceases to move again, argh!! When the window appears....it asks if your computer is about to crash and would you like a fucking free scan....eat me, you nasty assmunch! Silence, Crash------the usual thoughts cross my mind as I reboot......"I will never patronize those bastards, NEVER" muah ha ha......I'll show em'....or not......ugh. Yeah, so I hate pop-ups and being the one of a small group of humans on the planet with dial-up or a decent fire wall, I get no sympathy....where, I ask you, is the love?
