I was just checking out evolume's mp3.com site, and notice the screen going dark, then a really cheesy shockwave popup appeared within the browser window which somehow made it impossible for me to clear the stuff that was happening untill the shockwave animation thing dissapeared. I thought it was an add for a porn site or something. Imagine my horror when I realized it was for the american military of all things. Popups should be fucking illegal, not governmet endorsed. Especially ones that you can't get rid of right away.
It freaks me out how addamant the american millitary is being with this whole modern crusade. Can't wait untill Bush admits to the fact that he is doing this for religious reasons. Bloody hell. It was only two innocent buildings. Not like they dropped a nuclear bomb or two in the middle of a couple cities.

I'm going to skip the whole political issue, but if you don't want popups, use a browser like Mozilla that lets you turn them off.

There's usually a button or X on the those ads that let you close them... but they're as annoying as hell anyway! I usually end up swearing and smacking my monitor when they rear their ugly heads.

I just want to say in my own defence so I don't look pro-WTC-airplaining that it was a horrible loss of life and energy, and that everyone should be thankfull they didn't decide to poison the water supply of new york, or try to detonate a nuclear bomb in the middle of the city.
