    Flashing Banners

    You know those banners that flash if you win? Too bad they always flash.

    sometimes the banners say "If this banner is flashing, you've WON!
    click here" Does that sound oddly specific? Good. I had one while typing this. I haven't checked what you win, and I don't plan to. IT's always flashing.

    Ever seen those that use the title bar of IE?
    Something like:
    "This Prize was given to you by - Microsoft Internet Explorer"

    God! How I hate these spammers!

    I don't get any of those any more, thank goodness. Popup Killer and Pop-up stopper see to that.

    I don't like you very much. Please post a lot less.
    Cheez
    *and then*
    No, I know you were joking. My point still stands.

    I nearly posted a gripe about the flashing red banner myself, it was driving me up the wall.

    Now that's poor advertising:

    1. Annoy your potential customers

    2. Let your customers know that you think they're stupid
