God, what is it with these pop ups with sound? Halfway through this really good video of The Fabulous Thunderbirds some friggin popunder ad with sound blaring assaulted me. Something about a sockeye salmon recipe. And why is it that the popup is ALWAYS louder than what you are watching? What devilry is that?
Its almost as obnoxious as when you go to a website and you want to close the window and they're like...
"Sign up for free picks!"
"Sign up for blah blah blah!"
"Talk to our customer rep Sheila!"
"Do you still want to leave?"
Yes I wanna leave! Thats why I closed the tab or the browser, slapnuts. Or tried to, at any rate.
Man, there oughta be a law against this crap.
Edit: I think I accidentally O.D.ed on anti seizure medication and I can't sleep.

I've got the Chrome pop up blocker thing on, but it doesn't work.
