Comment Malware is the consumer’s fault. (Score 1) 416
Honestly I think malware is the consumer's fault. Seriously, if people didn't try to circumvent advertising with their pop-up blocker software and their Tivos, we wouldn't be in this spot. It's only natural that companies are going to have to find new venues for advertising. And honestly I don't find this stuff all that intrusive.
Wait hang on. Phone call. It's my mortgage company. Never mind, telemarketer. Okay as I was saying, I really don't think that advertising is as intrusive as people make it out to be. I mean is it that disruptive to take out a second of your day to... oooh e-mail. Hold on, something about my penis. This must be important... Hmm, guess not. Usually things about my penis are fairly important.
Okay where were we? Grr, hold on. Yes honey I checked the mail. No, just something from Citibank. It's not a bank statement. We don't even use Citibank, honey. Yeah you also got something about a free cell phone. Did we order a new cell phone? Well it says it's ready to be shipped. Why would I order a new cell phone and then ask you if you did? All I'm saying is that someone is sending us a cell phone. I'm not going to fight about this.
I'm back. Oh what now? What's this? A fax? I'm not familiar with this vacation company. No, throw it away. I don't care if it's only $99 to go to Disney, we're not going to Disney. All right, back to the topic on hand. I was watching this commercial on TV the other day and... ah forget it. Windows needs to be optimized. I better click on this. I mean it just popped up so it's gotta be important...
