I am a pop up
I have important stuff to sell you. All you have to do is read me!

I don't care if I'm not your friend. I am a product you have to have!

Penis enlargers! Breast enhancement! I've got it all!

Don't get rid of me! I am useful!

Don't you care about me?

1. No I don't care about you, Mr. Popup....
That's why I use Mozilla Firebird.

No popups!

3. The software I use constantly
interferes with entering websites I regularly visit. I can't go onto Moveon.com with the program I have. Do you have this problem with Mozilla Firebird?

2. You're just doing what your supposed to do
But there's a special place in hell for your creator.

4. I Have Opinion Too
But it never "Pops" up and I'm not too happy about blocking every Ad at DU just to keep scum off my back.

6. I've been pop-up free for six months
...thanks to mozilla and then Mozilla: Firebird.

I forgot that pop-ups were even a problem :)

7. More to the point:
Has anybody, anywhere EVER bought a product or service offered via a popup ad? It always strikes me as the most futile advertising vehicle ever concocted. Am I wrong?

8. Are you the nasty little rat who talks to me when I sign on??
and does not even give me a X to click you off?? Instead I have to mute my sound so I cant't hear you...
