Adverts popping up on your laptop because Wendy's has a new hexagonal-shaped cheeseburger that contains only 902% of the daily allotment of saturated fat... oh, and onions, and a 'special sauce' that you probably wouldn't want to know the ingredients of...
But, in all honesty, this helps American business! People WANT to know of these good deals that benefit them! :eyes: (when we all know that spyware and popup-blocking programs, national do-not-call lists, and so on, are extremely popular with the American public. How come corporations still say we like their ads? We clearly don't!)
This will also create a new business! A business of software that will block cell phone ads! Isn't that awesome? It'll save the American economy because it will create jobs and create prosperity!!! (But then you find out the software was merely written and compiled in India and e-mailed to the marketing office in San Diego, CA, which upon approval then gets forward to Taiwan so it can be burned into the EEPROM chips that get carted off to China where the phone is assembled... and then shipped to the US for John Q Consumer who then gets to listen to a ton of messages from Nestle about their new candy bar, the latest Lexus car, and that new $150 Nike shoe (that was sewn by an old lady in a sweatshop who got paid a quarter for making it...)
Why hasn't the whole world officially turned against the US by now? It must surely be realizing how the US is shamelessly exploiting the peoples and resources of the world just so a few of its citizens can reap excessive 'rewards'. I feel sorry for Bush's replacement, whoever he/she may be... the future ain't pretty.
