New Ultra-Intrusive Pop-up Ads Introduced

CrashRide writes "According to this story at AdAge.com, Unicast is attempting to introduce a new on-line ad format that takes over the entire screen of the PC for about 15 seconds and must be closed by the viewer. "The ultra-intrusive new format opens when a user is on one page of a Web site and clicks a link to go to another page on the same site. Instead of seeing that new page, the user sees an ad that fills the entire screen.""

And now...

... a word from our pop-up. OK, a thousand words.

Rosebud

Anyone remember the Bloom County where the TV chases Rosebud outside and is jumping on him yelling something like: "DON'T YOU WEAR BRUT AFTERSHAVE!?! WOMEN WON'T FIND YOU ATTRACTIVE!!!"

I need to pull those books back out...

I hate big vaginas

[Anonymous Coward]

But hey, after your wife has a few kids, then that's all you got.

And what pisses me off is she acts like she's doing me a favor sharing her big vagina. I was bored with it 10 years ago. Cripes.

So then you'd figure she'd do anal because *that's* got to be a little bit tighter, right? But no, you'd think you asked her to sell her soul to the devil.

So you're stuck with her lying there, no longer doing BJ's because as far as I could tell, she only did them when we were dating, and then I'd have to ask. And now, she thinks swallowing is like I asked her to cut off her hand with a saw.

And during sex, you can get her off, but she won't *help* with that job. Its like, my job to have my orgasm and her orgasm. And then if you're not up to it that night, its like a big disappointment. So you figure that jacking off isn't so bad because then you don't feel guilty about it, and you don't have to pretend that it was wonderful.

And so you want to knock off a piece of 20 year old ass. But you don't dare, because you've got 25 years of savings, a couple cars, some kids, a nice house, some money put away, and you don't want to risk that on divorce court, just because you want a little strange. Its no big deal. But it is to her.

What I don't get is... wives don't want to give you sex, but they don't want you to have sex with someone else. Its as bad as every fricking church, always trying to control your sex drive.

Before you say anything else, my wife was really cool before we were married, and she was really very cool until kids. Then all of a sudden, she's a mother, and its like toyland... once she goes from being a wife to a mother, she never, ever goes back.

Laugh at me, but this is your life in 20 years. No kidding.

I know some of this might come across as rude, but we have obviously crossed the boundaries of normal conversation etiquette...

Please man, get some sex or relationship counseling with your wife or something! You two obviously have problems, and they need to be addressed. I understand you would probably end things if it was easier (no kids, etc.), but at least try and make it better if you have decided to stick with it. You shouldn't have to suffer so much!

And I am not trying to brag at all, because I really do feel for you, but I have escaped at least some of those problems because I am polymorous... I don't think you could swing that now, but for any people just starting out in relationships, I really recommend it. Though who knows - if you wife really doesn't want sex, maybe she would at least be adult enough to let you discreetely 'cheat'. Amazing how nice it feels to remove 90+% of the jealosy in a relationship! My primary right now was a hard-core monogamist "must get married NOW" person when I first met her...7 years ago. Things have been great, and it only took her a few months before she got comfortable with the idea of being poly - and of course, she loves it now (she dates other people far more than I ever have, actually).

And not that I am convinced it is a problem, but the other poster who suggested something like jelq really is right - it does work. Might at least be something to try.

Good luck, anonymous sir.
