I had a pop-up stopper pop-up that wouldn't go away.  I clciked close but it popped back up saying "this could be your last pop-up"  The only way I could get rid of it was to ctrl-alt-delete out of iexplorer. :mad:

There's a fine line between multi-tasking and overkill.

My favorite advertisment thing was when I bought a bunch of multiple CD jewel cases and on the case it said, and I quote:

"Automatically become portable when carried."

I dont see whats wrong with the ad... Its very effective, it annoys you with something you see constantly, and offers a solution. Its just like a carpet stain remover guy spilling a wine on your carpet then cleaning it up. You recongize something that happens constantly, and an example is put fresh in your mind, then a solution is offered.

The most ironic Ad I ever saw was in a photograph. It was in Jerusalem, and a big billboard selling cigarettes had the headline "The Big Taste Of America". In front of the billboard an M1A1 tank was bearing down on the photographer. ;)

Although I can't find the link anymore, the most ironic ad, and probably the ad with the worst possible placement, that I've ever seen was an ad for Iomega products. They were advertising a burner with the catch phrase "Burn, Baby, Burn". Unfortunately, the banner was placed on top of a local news story about a baby being killed in a house fire....
