Gahhh!!! - A Geek's Lament
Oct. 1st, 2004 10:18 pmI see why photobucket.com needs to place advertising on every page when you upload and so forth; they have to get the money back from somewhere for the great service they're providing.
But this is going too far: there's this totally obnoxious rich media ad haunting my bucket where this badly animated chick that looks like one of those Japanese combine-them-yourself icons lurks for you to touch her with your mouse cursor, to start squawking in the most jarring American accent, "Hi, my name is Tina, and in the next thirty seconds..." yadda yadda yadda.
I long to reply: "Hi, you name is nothing, you stupid cow from Arizona, because you don't bloody exist! Get that into your nonexistent head!"
I am avoiding her like an electric cattle fence, but I don't always succeed.
ETA: ("For the loan of a flagpole and two dozen cups" and all that.) Please be warned that There Be Spoilers for Going Postal in the comments; they just turned up by themselves.
