WORD TO UR MOM

Where useless thoughts find a home.

Wednesday, November 09, 2005

Okay, I know I'm no advertising wiz. But I'd like to think I'm able to put myself in the shoes of an end user or a 'target market.' So who, I would like to know, came up with the pop up ad? No really, I want to know. They may actually be higher on my sh*t list than G Dubya.

I wish I was in the room when some irritating group of males (because I'm sure it was males) in slick suits with gelled hair decided that ads that pop up in front of the user when they're minding their own f*cking business was a great idea. I'm not sure they could anticipate the rage that pop ups encite in many computer users. In fact, the pop up usually has the adverse effect of its original intention. A product that appears on a pop up immediatly garners my distaste, distrust and utter fury at having to once again, click the little X in the corner and wonder when I'll be assaulted again.

So to all those marketers out there who are bringing their ad budgets to the web, you put one more pop up on my computer and I'm coming after you and your entire f*cking family. That's right grandma. Little Billy invented pop ups and now you all must die. Maybe you should have encouraged Billy to be a fireman or a doctor instead of a soul-less advertising executive that stole his partners 'great new pop up idea' as revenge on society for the fact that he has homosexual tendencies and is afraid of breasts and nude beaches.

And no, I do not have rage issues.
