#@$%#@$#$ Republican popups!
I quit going to Slate in part because of their damn popup ads for "honor Reagan" and the * action figure. Now they have a popup on Excite attacking the Democratic party!
Is there anything that kills these things out there? And why don't we fight back with some of our own? I wouldn't mind a popup, if it wasn't an ad for evil people like the RNC.

1. The republicans have a lot more money to blow this election cycle.
So expect to see lots of annoying ads this year.

2. The Goolge Toolbar
The Google Toolbar will block popups unless you hold down the <ctrl> button as you open a page. I downloaded it off www.google.com and now I just can't imagine life without it! Thanks Google Toolbar!

:loveya:

4. Sounds like a winner
I'll give it a try.
Better that punching out my computer because it tells me to be a Republican.

5. Popups are the lowest of the low
exactly where the pubbies belong. Each time one pops up it will irritate the receiver. Idiots.

10. That's the one.
Looks like it's being done on more than Excite.

11. How can you not know where?
www.google.com

The Google Toolbar is the #1 toolbar in the world because of it's groundbreaking pop-up blocking technology. I have blocked 246 pop-ups on my computer alone. When I think of all the total number of pop-ups blocked worldwide (amoung the millions of Google Toolbar users) I start crying.

Tears of joy, that is.
