How do you guys feel about all those stupid flash advertisements that make you do something before the link activates? I didn't really mind the "shoot your coworker with a paintball gun" or "punch out GWB" ads. But this ad is pretty fucked up.

Not only is fucking with mail a felony but hanging out of a car window with a basebat is down right dangerous. I heard about a kid a few months ago who tried doing it with a golf club and when the graphite shaft shatter a piece of it went through the other kids neck and killed him.

yeha, kids get ideas and try it themselves because it looks like it would be fun.

Who thinks up this shit anyway?

I don't care that I have to see ads. I was refering to the actual content of the ads.
