1. They are trying to get stupid people to click
so they can load you computer up with lots of spy-ware and other fun stuff.

9. Weird... there must be a setting somewhere that got
changed or something. On mine or yours, because I haven't seen a single pop-up since I got this thing about a year ago.

3. Only 'cause they can't find a worse photo of him
It's damn hard to take a bad photograph of him.

They probably cropped his hand over his heart since it might have been during pledge of allegiance.

5. The red and blue XL text font in the ad with a white background compels/seduces patriotic teabaggers
So mebbe they could substitute any Rethug in place of Obama's image, and those red-blooded pro-Murkin shit-kickin teabaggers would still feel obliged to click on it anyway.

Murka!!

Fuck Yeah!!

12. You gotta admit
We took full advantage of all the terrible pictures of Bush that were floating around.

16. Probably from Sodahead.com
That looks like their stuff. It's kind of a news-sharing, poll creation, social bookmarking place that's full of wingnuts. Their f*cking zedo ads are everywhere.
