Banner ads with sound effects should be illegal. I don't enjoy going to a website and being assaulted by the "shoot the paparazzi" camera flash noises. The people who make these things need to be flogged in the face with red-hot barbed wire.

Posted by: Army NCO Guy at June 22, 2005 12:01 PMYeah, but I'm sometimes listening to very, very loud music while I browse, and I don't appreciate background noise, especially when I forget to turn the volume down afterwards.

Posted by: Army NCO Guy at June 22, 2005 10:50 PMI hear ya. I find the movie-like ads on AIM even worse. They expand out of that top box, and each time they repeat, they turn the sound back on. They also suck the life out of a computer when AIM first starts. Pain in the rear.
Posted by: Katherine at June 25, 2005 12:57 AMWhat would you do to people who actually committed an incorrigible act? Are you as cruel and extreme as you sound, or just desperate for attention? Don't try to get clever (it is not in you..) just answer the question please. By the way, people who talk in extremes are usually closet trolls.

Posted by: CD at June 27, 2005 05:03 PMYeah, CD! Why are you trolling your own blog?!
