1. Why the hell not? Not only does DU manage to GET their money, it also
guarantees that they're WASTING it!

It's kind of like the NAACP getting the KKK to buy banner ads...I love it!

4. Oh, yeah. And click on them now and again. Not a lot of times, because
DU doesn't get paid when someone spamclicks.

Hey, I think I just invented a word! And I like it!

"Oh, those are just spamclicks. See how many there were in just one minute?"

"I spamclicked this ad yesterday; I hope it worked."

"What am I doing? Just a bit of spamclicking on this Republican banner ad."

6. I like "spamclicks" better. Short and snappy. I even ran right over to
Wikipedia and made an entry.

2. If you donate,
You can disable the ads. Of course, some Donors keep the ads enabled to provide even more funding.
