Annoying ads, part 1
One of the most annoying ads that runs regularly in the New York Times is the little beauty to the left. These two fools, whomever they are supposed to be, watch the cursor as it moves around the page. What's wrong with that? Well, for one thing it keeps the scroll wheel on your mouse from working properly. Second, what is it advertising? Third, why is this supposed to be so amazing? It stops the page from responding normally and makes them watch the cursor. So what. That's the nature of a computer. It makes an aritifical image behave in certain ways based on my control of a mouse or computer keyboard. You want to impress me? Make the ad disappear when I scream at the screen. That would be impressive.
