bleedin' obvious
I want one of those consultant jobs where someone gets paid stonkingly huge amounts of money for stating the bleedin' obvious...
1. Advertising doesn't work -especially when it's irritating*.
2. Advertising does work -but only when the product doesn't exist. (I so want some Ichiban now.)
Advertising is pollution - a toxic by-product of the consumerist age. Everyone needs to drastically limit their exposure to it. Poisons the mind and soul it does.
*not that since using the Google toolbar with built-in pop-blocker for IE and Firebird (now Firefox) I actually see any anymore. So how effective is advertising that no one ever sees? Well, it's very effective for the sellers and giver-awayers of pop-up blocking software that's for sure.
PS. I'd use firebird/firefox more if they didn't freak out so badly every time I tried to save a page or a single image from a page. It can take up to 45 seconds (I've timed it) to save a image. Something which IE does instantaneously. Sort it out guys.

no, because there's an button that allows you to block or unblock pop-ups on any site at will.
