Stupid Web Site Tricks
I enjoy surfing. I read a lot of sites and as a Mac user I read the Mac rumor sites. Among them is Think Secret. While I like the content and continue to visit, I am nearly willing to drop them due to one factor. I can deal with ads. BUT 10 ON ONE PAGE!! TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, 7 ARE ANIMATED!!!!

Whew, glad I got that off my chest. I emailed the person who runs the site, complaining about one ad which was blinking so fast that I was concerned about it inducing epilepsy. Without a doubt the worst Internet ad I have ever seen...his response...well the ads pay the bills, so tough!

It is true that the bills have to get paid [ask me with no job, no money, and a former employer who owes me over $8,000], but at what cost of pain to your viewers. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE END THE PAIN...mj
