It’s crap like this that makes us hate advertisers on the web

See this image …

Ya the one that has the nice Skip This Ad link that .. guess what .. it doesn’t work (side note – on this ad in particular I clicked the link 7 times before giving up).

I have given up on keeping track of the number of times that I have run across this type of pre-ad that for all intents and purposes might as well laugh at you when you click on the Skip This Ad link because no such thing happens.

Oh the ad goes away … at some point  … when it bloody well feels like it.

And advertisers wonder why people use things like ad blockers and get all pissed off when shit like this happens.

Here’s a hint you bunch of frikken dummies … QUIT IT.NOW. (assholes)
