pop ups 2.0

we all complained about pop ups for years, then one day pop up blockers became more and more common. most did little to quell the massive onslaught of pop ups. advertisers were getting smarter than pop up blockers and always seemed a step ahead. then everyone got firefox and we forgot what a pop up was in the first place. overnight we never had to see a pop up again. this made advertising agencies frustrated, with virtually no way to get around firefox's pop up blocker, they saw their campaigns come to a slow end. people started pulling out. it looked like then end of this annoyance once and for all. and then web 2.0 came into play. now instead of a pop up opening in a new window, it opens directly on your page. theres nothing i hate more than a pop up jumping over a news story i'm reading with no clear x to close it. (they hide those x's very very sneaky, usually an inch or two away from the actual ad) sometimes they even follow you as you scroll. these pop ups are even more of annoyance. the only relief is that they don't seem to be so frequent, but they seem to be getting more and more deceptive and sneaky every day. some of them even play music, or movie trailers, or some laggy animated junk. and once again, pop up companies are rich rich rich. most likely richer than ever. not much humor, just another annoyance.

p.s. you ever think about people that send out spam and make pop up ads, you think that they like getting spam or pop ups themselves? maybe they read every bit of spam they recieve. imagine a spammer saying "fuck man i got another annoying SPAM email" or "these fucking pop ups keep blocking my porn, i'm watching jenna jameson and jigsaw from saw pops right on over her face...and i went limp"
