Just tried surfing the net with AdBlocker turned off

I was curious. 
 
Holy crap do people actually do that full time? It's like your earplugs falling out at a Justin Bieber concert.

There's one weather website I go to occasionally and it literally takes a couple of minutes to get the information I want as I watch one ad after another try to show itself as my AdBlocker nukes each one.

As a Canadian my natural inclination is to apologize for atrocities such as young Mr. Beiber and/or Nickelback but really... those things wouldn't actually be things if it weren't for the 'Murrican market.
 
So no.
 
And really, we get inundated with far more garbage flowing north than we've subjected ya'll too.
 
Plus... you guys get all our funny people. So let's call it even.

I don't know . If you ask me there is something very wrong with that giff .
There's a girl wearing a Cheetos's blouse with a beer to her right and a bottle of Jack to her left .
She took off her fake  pearls and placed them by the beer and she is holding a bunch of franks shaking them over what appears to be a pizza that got chomped from all different directions ...
It is clear to me that the girl can't drink , she can't cook worth a $hit and she can't seem to find a decent man ..
It too bad she could have if she really wanted too ..There's even a girl behind her in a mini skirt waiting in the wings ...
What the heck is this world coming to ?

It's not that much of a pure hell when you can just divert them to a junk folder. 
 
Personally I stay away from anything that is infested with ads, which means I don't watch TV or buy newspapers or magazines, I use AdBlocker and I don't even see the junk that gets sent to my junk folder (Gmail does a very good job of this).
