Most of you have a shit ISP that overcharges you for unreliable service and can’t do shit about it because that company either has a micromonopoly in your region or because they are considered the “least worst” of your “options”. What you may not realize is that the same shit company is also making serious bank off those stupid 404-jacking pages they send you half the time instead of the local site’s. They sell these huge data streams of their customers 404′d requests to domain squatting types so that you’re guaranteed to get an MFA when you type in http://www.yxhoo.com/ or the like.

Anyhoo… my ISP’s awesome dev dept conveniently forgot to ensure the opt out feature worked prior to launch. And for the record, I’d be perfectly happy with the ads and personal information leaks if they would charge less or at least provide me with the level of service I pay for.

Now, will someone tell me why ebay is still buying ads for everything? I thought they filtered out “Nukes” and other nefarious keywords long ago.
