....... According to what WrongPlanet advert tells me. :lol:

But on a serious note, if you saw something like that, would you feel tempted to click it?

If I knew nothing about the Internet and someone just placed me in front of the computer for the first time... probably.
Electrical signals would misfire in my brain and I wouldn't be able to control the impulse.

It's like the time my 12 year old cousin entered like all her personal information into some spam site (email, phone #, etc) just to find out her results to a quiz seeing if she was similar to edward cullen..

The Edward Cullen fans would be idiotic enough, surely... as cliche as that sounds.

But it applies to every twilight fan in society, strangely.

More like AdBlock + Firefox = End of irritation. Can't say as I've ever been tempted to click on an advert. On the rare ones I do see that tell me I've won a cash prize, iPad, holiday etc I just ignore assuming they are scams or BS.

even more like NoScript + FireFox. I block ads, comments, videos, pretty much everything that isn't pure pristine content. and the control tools of NoScript are awesome.

also @superboyian - HOT DAMN that's a nice new avatar picture! 8)

During my time here I have only clicked one ad. It was for groupon and I clicked it for 2 reasons. I wanted to help Alex make some money, but more importantly I wanted to cost groupon money.

I've only clicked an ad once a couple of years ago. The ad that says, "One Weird Old Tip Of A Flat Belly" because I was all paranoid that it was about medicine balls and that medicine balls were still big and black or brown. It turned out to be about eating really healthy one day and eating what you wanted the next day as long as you didn't eat bananas.
