Outstanding!!! I wonder if his paypal balance of over 19K is what he has gotten from the site so far. This case should be taught in every marketing class.

After further consideration I am inclined to agree with MD. I am appalled at this guy's lack of culinary savoir faire. His subtle use of cumin seed in his Moroccan Hare Tagine shows him for what he really is, a heartless feeble-minded barbarian. I don't know how any of you can find this funny.

quoted from snopes.com
" (Warning: The "Save Bernd!" site is pop-up hell. If you go to that site, don't expect to easily back out of the many new browser windows its advertising programs will open. We do not offer an clickable link to it because some of our readers have reported strange behaviors on the part of their computers after visiting the "Save Bernd!" site.) "

Uhhhhmmmmmmm, thanks for that link Krags !

Btw, at the very end of the "Save Bernd!" page in teeny, tiny print is the message "it's a joke."
In case you missed it when you were trying to get out of all the spyware pop ups ! j/k

You still see popups?

If you've seen a popup in the last 3 years, you need to get a better browser.

Krags · Post by **Krags** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 12:29 am

I don't want to start any browser or platform wars, but I have to agree with Lothar. I had no idea that site had pop-ups or other weirdness until I read the snopes page.

MD: it's funny because it's stupid.

Vertigo 99 · Post by **Vertigo 99** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 2:31 am

speaking of popups, im using the latest version of moz firefox, and ive seen a couple recently; anyone know what's up?

Ferno · Post by **Ferno** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 2:49 am

I'm thinkin they've figured out a way around it.

DCrazy · Post by **DCrazy** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 10:46 am

For some reason popunders can get around Firefox's popup blocker. I'm thinking they generate an artificial click event.

Vertigo 99 · Post by **Vertigo 99** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 2:44 pm

yea, exactly, they're popunders, not popups, my bad.

Disable javascript.
