Unwanted Pop-up Ads

Aside Not That Mike The Other Mike

If you see pop-up ads on this site, do not click them. I have not authorized them, and they may be an attempt to direct you to malicious content. I am investigating this issue, and I apologize for any inconvenience. (Update: To be clear, these are ads that cover up other content on the page. Ads that don’t cover up content are legitimate.)

    Is there such a thing as a wanted pop-up ad?

      Yeah, there was a really vile clickbait ad the other day: “Angelina Jolie found dead…did Brad do the unthinkable?” There must be a better way for these marketers to make a living.

          I think it was here, but I can’t swear to it – it only appeared once. It was before Carrie Fisher died, so – late December? It’s nothing compared to what routinely appears on most sites, though.

    And I was so looking forward to winning the $1000 Walmart gift card. (Snerking while giving a emphatic side eye with eyebrow raised)

      Well, you could still answer that email from the Nigerian Prince …

    I’ll use all my new free money to buy a bridge for my back yard. Where is that notice saying the one in Brooklyn is for sale?

      Have you already found a good discount on a river?

    Sometimes I would have that problem on one browser but not the other. Knew better than to click. Fortunately it no longer happens.

    Hm a few minutes ago there was another ad next to Amazon’s. It said: “Are you looking for the perfect partner?” Nah, not any more. He is purring right here in my arms.

      • murkle46 January 13, 2017 / 6:00 pm

          Murkle and EmsTheMonster, are these problems you’ve experienced while trying to visit Cutetropolis.com?

          • Emsthemonster January 14, 2017 / 7:11 am

            Yes, but I got “access denied” roughly a week ago a few times. It hasn’t happened since. So whatever it was, it must be solved by now 🙂

          I get that sometimes but I don’t think it’s just here. My Internet is pretty cranky, though.
