Gawd, I hate net ads
You know the ones I'm talking about: refinance you house, win $20,000 with one click of the mouse, etc.

But those are not the ones that bother me-well, not as bad as the "All-natural herbal supplements" that are supposed to work wonders for everything from upset stomach to gonorrhea. Folks, ANYTHING you ingest could affect you negatively. Just because it says "natural" and/or "herbal" doesn't mean you should grab your plastic and head over to GNC.

Most of all are the "Enlarge your manhood" or "Grow your penis safely and naturally" (yeah, they make it sound like I can plant my cock under the topsoil and have it "grow" in some form of photosynthesis. Jesus H. Christ-one time I got four of those ads AND "Enlargen your breasts" claims that make me wonder if these people think I'm some kind of hermaphrodite.

Guys, I hate to say this, but other than the techniques of lipid-injection it is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to "enlargen" your organ. We are stuck with what we are born with, genetics and lifestyle pretty much dictate the size as we age. Sucks, I know, but that's the way it is. EVEN IF they came up with something that could do the trick, it certainly won't be found in some vitamin offered by an aging porn king in Southern California.

Well, that's my rant. What's yours? What net ads piss you off the most?

1. Anything that pops-up
My computer literally gets overwhelmed and starts slowing down bk of them. I sometimes get them in three at a time.

My firewall did a pretty good job keeping them out when I first got it, but lately the pop-up ads have regenerated their strength and have found a way to penetrate the firewall and are back once again making my internet browsing a pain in the ass.
