I have spent days on end fighting a massive popup onslaught to my computer. I have a cable modem which allows every lowlife scumsuckingfuckface to bombard me with bullshit advertisements. I downloaded some free popup fighting software (not the popup fighting software that the popup extortionists advertise of course). That helped only slightly. I worked and worked on this problem to no avail. The popups just kept coming and I couldn't stop them. I was tearing my hair out and feeling so angry and indignant that I wanted to find the demons causing this affliction and beat them senseless.
It's such an extreme invasion of peace and privacy. It's like having the same telemarketers calling you over and over, but worse. The phone never stops ringing and it's always some fucking parasite trying to find a way to extract your money from your wallet. The one that sends me into a rage are ones that pop up incessantly saying "Do you hate popups? Click here!" and then they want to force you to pay them to make the torment cease. Wait a minute. You are a popup ad? Asking me if I hate popup ads? And you want me to pay you twenty dollars a month so that you will stop? EAT A DICK. That is the most outrageous form of extortion I have ever been subjected to.
But I've finally made it stop by banning every single IP address and every single URL of every last popup that appears on my screan. Ah. Sweet victory.
There needs to be some serious legislation put in place regarding the popup "industry." What they do is unconscionable and it should be stopped.

Posted by: Gordon the Magnificent at January 20, 2004 12:40 PMIsn't it just sick and fucking ironic that this entry is about the invasion of privacy and parasitic nastiness perpetrated by spam sites and pop-ups, and that as I speak, they attack my fucking blog with the same shit? I hate these scumsuckingbastards more than I would hate sleepinig on a pillow soaked in fucking cat piss. Can you feel how angry I am about this? It is a fucking crime. I wish I could send a mail bomb to every piece of crap that spams my blog.
On my hotmail account, I just have a spam filter that works like a dream. I have to get something like that for my blog because this is ridiculous. If anyone has a suggestion - anyone OTHER THAN YOU SPAMMER FUCKS - about how I may block spam-emails from being posted to my blog comments, I would love to hear about it.
