[Re: Loose Cannon: Snap, Crackle, Pop-Up Ads, Direct Newsline, April 19, 2004]:
ROFL! That has got to be the funniest and yet scariest thing I’ve read in Direct Newsline! I really feel that the Internet is way out of hand with the pop-up and spamming. If I was trying to have a conversation with someone and those ads kept interrupting me, I’d go crazy! Thanks for the heads up on Gmail – I’ll be sure NOT to sign up for it!

Surely if you were talking to someone with this version of chat it would be unbelievably annoying if these irrelevant ads kept popping up every line you write?
I most certainly wouldn’t use this anyway. Whatever next?!
