I despise the lame advertisements that are always on certain webstites. I hate the stupid ones with the annoying cartoons that say, "Are you a good flirt? Take our quiz lyk ehmagaad!", or those horrid ones with some stupid picture of a clown or something that say, "Warning! If you click this you will die! You must be 18 to click this!!!" etc. And then there are the absolutely wretched ones that have a picture of Paris Hilton or something and say, "What is Paris' dog's name?" and then they have three choices but you can click any one of them and it will be right because they just want you to go to their stupid website and "win something free" that will only cause your email inbox to be filled with shitty spam. The ads I hate the most are the ones that have a little game that makes some aggrivating noise, for example they'll say, "Swat three bugs and win a ringtone!" and there are little mosquitos flying around the ad making the most horrible noise you can imagine, so you have to swat them just to shut them up, but then it takes you to their fricking website and a thousand windows pop up and you have to click out of all of them and you end up having to restart the damn computer because it is so filled with shitty pop-ups that you can't control them. And last but not least are the ones that have some sumo wrestler with giant man-tits and hairy legs and it will tell you to slap the man's boobs or shave its legs or something horrid like that. I hope there aren't any sick people out there that think those are funny. They are the most despicable things that have ever happened to the wonderful world of Internet. I especially despise people who would be stupid enough to click them. All spam should be diminished from the face of the earth and removed from existence. Now you probably think I'm really pathetic for dedicating a whole thread to something as stupid as this, but I'm a pathetic person so deal with it.
If you actually took the time to read my stupid rant I pity you. Go do something worthwhile now.

I once came across an online ad that said "Knock out Genghis Khan and win a free Ipod Nano".

I hate online ads as well. They're fairly easy to ignore. Just put your computer on mute and get some firewall software to block pop-ups. But I do think you absolutely have a point about them; they are useless and the world could do without.
