    Reminded me to re-download Adblock Plus... nothing worse than embedded sounds in websites. Thought that lesson was learned back when everyone and his dog had a Geocities site...

    [rant]that talking oakley signature series ad is fucking annoying. it makes me want to get an ad blocker and my living comes from internet advertising. please kill it before it kills the interwebz!!!

    and while we're at it, the undo button simply removes everything from your post. There is no actual undo function to it. The redo button does absolutely nothing at all.[/rant]
    that makes two people that have mentioned ad blockers and neither saw the other first.
    LOSE THE AD!!! Your shooting yourself (and me) in the foot.

    Yeah, I posted a thread about it months ago. Fucking annoying. If it's some kinda stupid joke, it's time has passed.

    You can always just not buy Oakley products ever again. That's what I'm doing.....

    there's no place like 0.0.0.0...

    use a hosts file and send the fuckers to /dev/null

    better than adblock, because it works with all your browsers, and email, and any other connection ur computer tries to make

    i have to tell Mrs Poundkey that about 4 times/day
    but a quick slapchop shuts her up for a few minutes, and gets her in the mood for another round of poopenhausen

    she says denying it to you keeps you interested and spending ur $$

    very fucking obnoxious. It makes me want to punch the monitor every time I accidentally let my mouse touch it.

    I will never EVER buy oakley gear because of this ad campaign of theirs.

    I have had "something oakley" on my eyes for 20 years running. I've always had 2 pairs of goggles and 2 pairs of sunglasses. Even when I was a dealer for other brands I still went and bought oakley stuff at another shop out of brand loyalty.
    Smith is looking better and better to me every time that ridiculous bullshit talks shit at me when I mouse over it.

    get it? is anybody paying attention over there?

    You know what's annoying? People who bitch about ads when there are multiple simple solutions to your problem.

    The Oakley ads are lame and annoying. They make everyone involved look stupid.

    In the meantime, Smith has a motion ad in the right hand side bar of some dude jumping of some rock and laying some big turns. You can see the tips of his skis flap.

    Smith 1
    Oakley 0
    Life is not lift served.

    just moused over one in the middle of class. instructor is lecturing away on surpac, and my computer screams out "I look like an asshole!"

    can't install anything onto the school computers. ditch the adds. give them a deal on one that doesn't make noise

    Maybe you should either not surf the web while you are paying for an education or at least turn your speakers off. Again, a simple solution for stupid people.
