I had a pop-up window come up (I almost always get one while entering DU). Anyway--it had a couple of guys--one on the back of a tank or stryker vehicle, the other walking along beside...the tagline was something like "Do you want to make the headlines?"

There was a field to enter your name below that said beneath it, "enter your name to see a sample headline" or something to that effect.

Then the disclaimer... this is just for fun. No information will be saved.

Here's what you get if you click on it. I didn't even have to type anything.

Now, I thought it might be some sort of spoof ad...A "Local soldier _______ _______ killed in insurgency attack today."

It's one way you could get your name in the headlines.

7. Heck, I'm running

Zonealarm AND both Google and Yahoo search bars with the pop-up blockers built in. And I almost always get a pop-up when I sign in here. I rarely pay it any attention because it's always shoved into the background. This time it caught my attention as I was getting ready to close it.
