#0, WTF!?! moment OTD, 3 Jan 02
Posted by TRB on Jan-04-02 at 07:22 PM
So I'm surfing around various sites last night, passing the time, trying to wear my eyes out enough to sleep, and I hit a sight that throws about 5 pop-up ads in my face.
One of these ads... is for a piece of software... that auto-kills pop-up ads. Yes, a pop-up killer being advertised in a pop-up.

WTF?!?

On a completely unrelated note, if I don't stop staring at this , I'm going to be going $500 in the hole for this month. I have, just, no willpower.

"Looks unfired"? They own it and they don't know?

It's a Detonics. Who knows how many hands it's been through in the past 15 years? Looks may be all there is to go by. Considering the guy has at least 222 transactions on the site to his credit, I doubt it's personal property, too. Probably a pawn shop owner or some such. The debate would be moot within a very short time after I laid my hands on it, though B-)
