Has anyone else seen this?? This just popped up from my browser:



If you type in your name and submit, it sends you to:

snip

Could you really be a hometown hero? Absolutely. Just take 1 minute of your life -- right now -- and complete this simple-easy form to receive your information on quickly learn what INCREDIBLE JOBS are now awaiting for you. Don't miss out! Get your information today

note: this is copied and pasted; the lack of grammatical coherence is exactly as this page is published.

another snip:

BONUS REPORT #1 is titled " 5 TIPS TO GET YOU THE BEST SCHOOL OR JOB." and BONUS REPORT #2 titled "YOUR FIRST VISIT WITH A RECRUITER: FACING THE BEST TRAINED SALESPERSON ON EARTH."

My question to all those dead, wounded, traumatized soldiers in Iraq:

Are you having FUN yet?

4. The only sites I had open were...
DU
Yahoo home page
LPGA.com (ladies pro golf assoc.)
LOGOonline.com (LOGO is the new gay/lesbian channel set to debut June 30th)

Gee, wonder if Yahoo is taking money from these carpetbaggers to recruit young naive kids to risk their lives and limbs in exchange for some blood-thirsty FUN?

6. What a dangerous and misleading ad.
They are pulling out all the stops now.

7. Did you go to any of the same sites as the original poster (other
then DU)?

Just trying to figure out where the pop-up is coming from.

5. Thank God my Computer eats PopUps and throws them in the
recycle bin before I see any of them. And they get immediately deleted from there. I couldn't handle seeing this one .... I would probably blow a gasket .... :grr:
