OK, I have had it. I realize most web sites are funded by well designed ads that are touch sensitive to the mouse over. But, enough is enough, most of my favorite sites are completely cluttered and you can't get to the articles you want to read without smashing 4-5 ads that you had no intention of looking at. Here is the typical scenario, you go to your site and a full page ad runs for 15 seconds with a button the size of a molecule in a hidden corner that allows you to leave earlier. If you could find that button, and that's a monster if, you can go to the original splash page. But wait there's more. The splash page is a top down half page ad with an imbedded video that blows out my laptop speakers and can't be stopped for another 10 seconds. Now finally the original home splash page. I read a couple of headline articles and then try to go to my favorite tab to hit the sub pages. Dohh! I accidently ran my mouse over a picture on the side of the page and immediately transferred to another page that tells me what I can do about my erectile dysfunction. My wife doesn't even know I have the problem, and neither did I. Well now I am in another tab, which I need to close to get back to my original source and lo and behold that video is playing again. This morning I timed the whole exercise and it took me 4 1/2 minutes to get what I originally went to the site for, so much for the speed of the internet.
Right now I am enjoying the newspaper in real paper form and eating a pop tart.
