Which website links posted would you never click on?
Me? I'm going with www.jibjab.com and www.rathergood.com :puke:

I never want to see anything from those people again. I'd rather get caught surfing the pixyland galleries :eyes:

1. Any link to dailyKOS.
Never understood how people liked that site.
It's layout makes me want to rip my eyes out.
It's like an encyclopedia dropped LSD and pukes all over my monitor.

I know that I probably the only one who feels that way, but shitty layout=will not visit.

24. Agreed on DKOS.
Besides, most of the shit there is on every other liberal web site, anyway. Most of it is just a bunch of self-important bloggers who seem to think somebody actually gives a flying fuck what they think. Blogs are like assholes. Everyone has one and they all smell bad.

3. I'm willing to give most things a chance
but if it has child_porn in the url or something like that, I might skip it.

12. It's the home of those demented "We like the moon!" videos

14. Anything, and I mean ANYTHING with a "tinyurl" in it.
If you can't post the actual website, don't f'ing expect me to click on it. I don't care how small the f'ing link is.

But JibJab and Rathergood are tops on my list, too.

18. I use the "preview/tinyurl" links so that you can see where the link goes before clicking it.

21. I figured, and I for one appreciate those like you who do.
But there are those on message boards that post an excerpt from an article, then post a "tinyurl" and you find out it goes to Drudge or FR.com or some crap like that.
Or some other site.

People like that make me want to sign them up for craptons of spam emails.

23. I dunno, the link code here on DU will get screwed up with a few symbols that are common in urls.
So at least here I'll think about clicking on such things.

15. Ironically, the one I wouldn't click on is "pixyland galleries"
I don't know what they are, but based on your post, I'm positive I don't want to find out.

33. It's sad, but 'net experience is becoming a real thing
seeing uuiU and 82yU on the end of youtube links informs me it's a rick roll.
