Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-17-2009 12:32 PM                     I can't stand obtrusive TV ad pop ups, which is pretty much why I avoid watching channels like TBS, TNT, etc. unless I have to. I also hate crappy looking web sites. Stop TV Pop Ups' website looks pretty crappy. Center-justified paragraph text ads a nice amateur-hour looking touch.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 11-17-2009 01:23 PM                     Course why of the popups is to deter from any sales when copying the programs from a TV source...same with the watermarks in the corner.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

I also can't stand pop-ups on TV. It's quite possibly one of the worst ideas in the history of television.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-17-2009 01:56 PM                        I also hate them, but I fear they're here to stay. Agreed that website is terrible-looking. Why Do Some People Feel The Need To Capitalize Every Freaking Word? Not only is it hard to read, it's a pain in the butt to type!  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-17-2009 02:33 PM                     The solution is easy. Just stop watching TV.  |  IP: Logged Tom Mundell Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: Silver Spring, MD, USA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 11-17-2009 02:51 PM                        quote: Why Do Some People Feel The Need To Capitalize Every Freaking Word?

Even worse, they didn't type it in this way but used css text-transform to display as such!  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 11-17-2009 03:00 PM                     THE reason why I haven't been in a hurry to upgrade to HD. The only reason I even have a digital tuner right now is because my DVD recorder(used for transferring old tapes and junk) has one built in. It's nice to flip through the channels on my TV tuner and get no signal, except for a few low-power stations- the strongest one has the Home Shopping Network all the time. But I'm glad that this website LETS them try to stop T.V. pop up ads.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-17-2009 05:33 PM                        The website looks like it was built with Netscape Navigator's "Composer" feature.  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 11-17-2009 05:47 PM                     Jesse. Oh my God man, you have a Joe Redifer popup on your member photo. This must be exorcised in the name of family values and cheap laughs. Damn, that scourge is everywhere! To the guillotine with you both.... Chop chop.  |  IP: Logged Alex Edwards Expert Film Handler Posts: 114 From: Iowa Registered: Aug 2009 posted 11-17-2009 06:20 PM                  Speaking of websites: there are some advertisements now on websites that when I pull up the page, an ad flashes accross the screen. I have to desperately find the little "X" they have hidden in some corner to make it go away. They already purchased their own ad space on the page, do they have to take up my screen with their company's logo???  |  IP: Logged
