It's back!

“The suitcase is back and it is not a Monday!”

“what happened to the pop up stopper ad when i need it? hehe”

“Yeah, just saw it for the first time!

Annoying!”

“Please tell me there's a way to stop it without downloading new software.”

“I had almost put it behind me. But NOOOOOO!! 3 flying suitcases and it's not even 9:00 A.M.”

“Saw it once today. I had downloaded Pop-up Stopper, and that does not take care of it. Once more and I'm out of here for the day.”

“That means, purveyors of the flying suitcase, there is now zero chance of my ever patronizing your firm, whatever the heII you are advertising!”

“I have often wondered who is it that actually makes these pop-up adds prifitable. I have never clicked on one on purpose. And when I did open them accidentally. i didn't even read em. Just deleted it and went on.

Do they really work?”

“Good question, Hyway. I have always wondered about the effectiveness of advertising that it THAT annoying and intrusive. But, then agin, look at the success of some of TV's most irritating ad campaigns throughout b-casting history. Some have been huge, and cheap to boot...”

“Back? I've just seen the damn thing for the first time...”

“Apparently there are a lot of boneheads out there that will click on anything.

Well, it's not quite that simple. My wife has called me a couple of times saying she had accidentally clicked on a pop-up when she meant to close it. Both times I think I had to tell her to reboot the machine to get rid of it, because I couldn't explain to her how close it otherwise. I don't think it's so much a matter of people actually wanting the product advertised, it's more a function of how deftly they can trick non-savvy computer users into clicking on the ad. Then they can claim a high click-through rate, which is one of the things that firms that advertise on the Internet want.”

“bit, my wife downloaded a program once because a pop-up screen told her she had encountered a virus and was in dire straits. It told her to run XXXXX to clean out the virus. I had a heck of a time deleting out all the crap that program installed.”

“Yeha I saw it too today! I thought it was only a monday thingy?”

“hyway, my wife has called me a couple of times saying that she had seen a similar message. Fortunately she now knows to just close those boxes.”

“ok who killed it?
they have flown the coop.

they are gone for now.”

“Gone, I just saw one. Dam suitcases.”

“Oi!
Stupid suitcase!
It doesn't seem to be popping up as often.”

“Just saw my second of the day. See y'all tomorrow!”

“I'm up to two and I have only been here 15 minutes.”

“It's been annoying me all morning.”

“I've only seen it 3 times so far today.
That's not too bad.”

“does anyone else see the irony of the pop-up ad that is for a pop-up ad stopper?? It is almost as funny as spam advertising "spam stoppers".”

“I've noticed a banner ad for a popup stopper, not a popup ad.”
