Rec this if you want DU to kill that ad that yells "Hello!"

[ThisThreadIsSatire]

Is it just me, or is that thing more annoying than listening to Dick Cheney singing Christmas Carols?

[tekisui]

1. Never seen or heard it.

It may be a good excuse to donate a few bucks to DU.

[Lex]

I'll 2nd that.

nt

[Klukie]

4. I have donated and it still pops up...

annoying as hell.

[tekisui]

7. Have you turned ads off at your profile?

I would think you wouldn't see them.:shrug:

[Klukie]

10. Yes...

I don't think it is a google ad. It pops up over my Du page. I think it is selling an Obama coin.

[tekisui]

13. Oh, I also have pop-up blocker.

Maybe that's why I don't see it.

2. Donate a few bucks and you can make the ads go away. n/t

[NJmaverick]

3. If you donate, all ads disappear

plus you get some cool features

[ThisThreadIsSatire]

5. Now I know why they run it

it's called extortion.

UNCLE!

[NOW tense]

6. Do it! Do it! peer pressure

[Duer 157099]

8. Another good reason I don't leave my speakers on

I had no idea how much crap I was missing

9. Here's a link that will make it go away ...

[ThisThreadIsSatire]

20. Done...

and if I keep hearing that thing and can't get rid of it, you either owe me five bucks or have to listen to Cheney's version of 'The Little Drummer Boy'!

(Hint: the $5 is a steal...)

[lpbk2713]

26. Fair enough.

Just as long as you don't throw in "Let the Eeeeagle Soar"

:puke:

29. His best (and also his personal favorite) is

'Wind Beneath My Wings'

(Imagine listening to that one and see how long dinner stays down.)

[Warpy]

11. Send DU five bucks and get a star

and you'll never have to put up with it again.

There are real benefits to paying for membership.

[hlthe2b]

12. A mere $5 or more donation....

and you'll never hear it again....

[ThisThreadIsSatire]

14. I guess free speech is worth five bucks..

and Skinner, if you're reading this: Please KEEP THE BUMPER STICKER.

No car or prominent place to post it...

[hlthe2b]

16. there's an option when you do the donation to refuse the sticker

FYI

[chucktaylor]

18. How can free speech cost money?

[uppityperson]

21. freedum isn't free.

[chucktaylor]

27. That's freedumb.

[uppityperson]

28. and dang, I forgot the (tm) also.

[mitchum]

15. I let my cursor drift across it last evening and ms mitchum went and answered the door

she thought it was the chipper neighbor from across the street

[Chulanowa]

17. Recc'd

All ads that make noise should be barred. HATE 'em

[Cetacea]

19. LOL nt

K&R

[Occam Bandage]

22. Stop using IE. Firefox is better in every way. nt

[Shardik]

23. Two words: Firefox. AdAware.

Kills google ads and pop ups.

[EOTE]

24. Rec'd. I hate that ad. NT

[tbyg52]

25. That's very bad web design, if nothing else.

You *never* make noises without any warning, in an ad or anywhere else.
