MAIG Ad here on VGOF?!

[gregj]

Noticed an ad for MAIG at the top of VGOF. Arent there some filters that can be applied?

MAIG? what does that acronym stand for? During the election season I was getting an Alan Grayson (Florida Idiot for Congress) banner. these days it is more mundane- ToolKing and Sears, you must have visited them...

[gregj]

MAIG = Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns. And no way in hell would I visit that site.

The Ads are from google and from what I understand Rick can't really control them. I say, let them waste there money!

If you really want to brutalize them click through every time you see it, then just drop that tab after. This makes them pay for each click through, and drives up their costs. Kinda the way you stop someone from spamming your old school fax machine, take 2 pieces of black paper, tape them together long ways so you essentially have an 8 1/2 X 22 piece, then using an older top feed fax, dial the spammer back, connect, send sheet. When sheet exits bottom, tape to top, let run 30 minutes to an hour, then stop. You wil never get another junk fax from them again..... Just a thought.

If you close the tab immediately after the click, google has a way of noticing that and will negate your click from their charges. So, better to click to the site, then click a link there to seem "engaged".

I like the junk fax call-back idea!

The other day, I saw an ad that requested I sign a petition to tell our governor "no" to arming teachers. Naturally, I declined to comply with that advertisement.

Another thing,

If you get "junk" mail from Brady Bunch, Time magazine, AARP, etc, etc. Mail back the "postage paid" envelope with all the stuff that came with it, but left COMPLETELY BLANK!

Cost them money, but they get nothing for their pennies.

I find that the pre-paid junk mail envelopes that come with the mountains of junk mail I receive are a convenient way to remove the junk mail from my mailbox. I just stuff the junk mail back into one of the envelopes and mail it back.

Also, I believe that teachers should be armed, provided that they have received proper training on when to use a firearm and how to use it safely. As the saying goes, an armed society is a polite society.
