Salon Goes For Annoying Jump-Through Ads

Now they won't directly link to articles, but instead link to a Web Ad which then links to the article you want. I think Slashdot needs a new category just for Web Advertising." Not as if web ads weren't already becoming more annoying, but the companies that run Web ads are probably as interested in ads that people don't hate as you are in not seeing the awful ones. What can we tell them?

    The Jews control the media. We re entangled in this whole mess because the Jews stole the land from the Palestinians 50 years ago. The Jews decided to mov into Palestine and just kicked 500000 Palestinians out of their homes and farms. Was that fair? I don't think so.

    The Jews are culpable in the horrors of September 11. They are culpable because the dragged America into their foreign adventures by using their ownership of the media to manipulate public opinion. Note that Jews are only 2% of the USA population. Yet they have caused untold misery for the other 98% who don't give a damn about their Middle Eastern tribal wars and rivalries.

    Note that Senator "Chuck" Schumer is a Jew. He is one of the biggest Jews. If you don't believe the Jewish ability to influence mass media, you should read Who Rules America.

    We should be jailing people for 5 years and taking away their houses for thought crimes like hacking.
    I think we should also jail people for 2 years for the thought crimes of bitching and moaning about things they don't like. Maybe that'll shut 'em up.
    While we're at it, it should also be illegal to conspire in public to support a religion that believes in anything but the one true God.
    Heck, just to top it off lets make it totally illegal to conspire to conspire against these laws.
    How do I propose we do this glorious deed that will make America safe again? Why, it's simple. We can listen to them conspire, we can watch them hack, and we can read their mail. We just need to make those things legal, and it will be easy.

    I also think we should force anyone who has ever commited these hateful, horrible, horrific crimes to wear special ID badges for the rest of their lives.

    Not with me on the last point? 49% of America was in the last gallup poll.
    Join me in my fight to ensure America is rid of all deviants, irregardless of creed or demographic! It's the American way! Uncle Sam Wants You!
