Blogroll:I have taken down the previous post which showed a picture which might have amused the tALL oNE because he is in fact, a jerk.
There is this site, for the non-internet users of you, or non-diggers, that blocks the browser firefox. Or anything related that uses adblock, a great addon that can let you block ads from pages. That’s right, it is truly fantastic. However some nutjob over at this site has gone truly fucking ballistic, and demands that it is stealing from the ad owners.
Okay, let’s start with 1:
This guy is giving firefox more popularity than it has got recently, and giving it even more popularity through indignation.
Firefox has quite a high churn rate by the way, and only fifty percent who download actually use it. (I use it ;) ). Anyway, he seems to think that there are LOADS of people on firefox, and nearly ALL of them use adblock. I know someone will inevitably claim his passage: “Demographics have shown that not only are FireFox users a somewhat small percentage of the internet”. What demographics? Your demographics? The BBC? CNN? Where?! Show us some reputable links and maybe I’ll believe you.
This guy is an ignoramus.
Following on from the previous point, this kid is also under the impression somehow that everyone or most of the people who read this site will be on his side or will immediately stop using firefox or it’s addons. Please respond to this post if you did… I don’t expect anyone will answer that. This is the type of person I absolutely HATE. People who go around thinking that everyone agrees with them and that they are the voice of truth. If many people visit this, I am quite sure that I will have at least some sort of criticism… This isn’t everyone’s cup of tea - you can post angry comments, you can visit this with IE, I really don’t care. In fact around 30% of my site’s readers use Internet Explorer of some kind.
He thinks that firefox actively supports adblock.
Sure it does. Because they even claimed it everywhere. Everyone knows that firefox just loves adblock. Hey, they even placed it on the front page! No. Try using your fucking eyes, mate. Hey, did you know that internet explorer has a built in multifunctional ad blocker? No, of course you didn’t. Most ignoramuses don’t see what they don’t want to see. Like criticism for example.
How much does it take to make an ad?
Not much. All an ad is, is just a bunch of text and a badly placed image often with some really annoying sounds. It can also take up tons and tons of space on a page. Hell, sometimes it even takes up an entire page! No wonder some people want to block them.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SO PISSED OFF AT THAT STUPID APPLE IPHONE OR IPOD COMMERCIAL THAT PLAYS AUTOMATICALLY AND YOU CANT FUCKING SWITCH IT OFF ON TIME AND IT SOOOO PISSES YOU OFF THAT YOU COULD MAYBE EVEN KILL SOMEONE!?
Because I have. And it pisses me off to the point that I yell at everyone. But since I installed adblock… I haven’t seen it since. And my blood pressure is back down. In fact I might as well go as far enough to say that adblock helped me.
And who views these ads anyway? The clickthrough rate has fallen below 0.01% - just stop fucking making more to counteract it! NO-ONE CLICKS ON THESE THINGS. Please tell me if you have actually ever bought something through an ad. This is how many responses I am expecting: 0. Of course I might actually get lucky, and get someone who did. I say lucky because they are a valuable source of info - would you buy again? Do you endorse adblock?
I’ve forgotten my other point… will edit later.
Long time no see hasn’t it been. Looking back at that sentence, I just realised how much I hated it. With a vengeance. I mean “long time no see”? What the fuck? Shouldn’t it be at least: It’s been a long time but I haven’t seen you… or some shit like that? Stupid.
There are plenty of stupid phrases in the language and you have to make sure that you use them properly. Or else someone like me is going to come up to you and pop you in the head. Pop you in the head is another one. Pop. Because that’s a verb isn’t it?
Two paragraphs done, another four hundred to go. Stuff is not going well and is going well for me at the moment - I am not ill, like some cartoonist I know who claims at every possible moment that he is ill and needs attention and cannot do his work. At the moment on a completely unrelated topic I was thinking of buying a macbook for my college work… whaddya think? I would install windows XP on it and just use it for Word 2007 and storage.
Hmm, I must apologise for the missing rant about Alex Chiu, a right time dick. I might rant about him next wednesday, or find someone else to rant about. Also, here is the mail address (copy it yourself): monarch.pie@gmail.com for my contact. Email anything the fuck you want. I seriously couldn’t be bothered. But I will read it. And probablu laugh upon it. Literally.
Next order of business the CBQ is going not well, we need funding and better objectives. Currently our list of objectives to obtain is: . So we need more. In fact anything would be good as I haven’t bothered to add anything.
I might blog later with a rant about some random guy spouting bullshit who clearly deserves a punch in the face.
EDIT: TESTING NEW COMMENT AND RATING SYSTEM:
I have now enrolled into college but loads of balls-ups have happened. Damn. I can’t do one of my courses because of a time-table mess up so I am taking applied ICT. Hey, it’s different. More later I am chat-ing!
I am back from the proverbial watchamacallit - the land of something or other… France. Yeah - the land of cheese and wine. Oh god the cheese. It’s just… so good. Damn those French know a good goddamn cheese. Seriously. Try some Brie today. Go for Brie Roitelet, it’s so creeeamy and smooth, not like that poser Brie de Meaux. If you cannot find these, then go for somerset brie. It’s not french, but… it’s English. Just as good.
Mmm… Goddamn I love cheese. Rotten cow’s milk you might say… yeah well you eat scorched flesh from dead animals. Vegetarian? Unborn chicken foetus’. Vegan? Goddamn mother fucking soil. I am not so much however a fan on wine. Hmm… rotten grapes, with the poo of dead germs fermenting away. Brilliant. But… CHEESE. I also love smoked cheese. No idea why I am telling you my cheese preferences but if I happen to meet you someday (likely) then remember. Or else I’ll chop off your goddamned head.
Well I also had mussels in France. The famous “moules frites” as they like to call them. Bit like fish’n’chips over here really. It’s kind of a national delicacy and I just love mussels. Anyhoo, on around the middle of the trip we went to the D-Day landing beaches, omaha and utah. Plenty of ‘orrible American flags everywhere. Right. So we go there, and I spot a mussel on the sand. Soon, we spot hundreds. Proper, closed shell, live mussels. So I collect a handful. Then my mate also does. Soon the whole trip earns us three massive bucketfuls of mussels (value: I dunno, around £40?). So we take them home and cook ‘em and eat 1/3. There is still some left… but they went off so boo hoo.
But on the last full day of the trip, our last outside meal, I have them again. A great big stonking “Marmite” (I know - but it’s actually a big bowl sorta thing) of mussels. And an upside down pyramid of chips. That is “moules frites” (pyramid not necessary). So I tuck into my long awaited meal. Mmm. Tasty. Especially with a coke with lemon in it. Then, my (very) annoying sister points to one of the shells I just ate from and says: “That looks like a crab!”. Turns out it was. Two to five millimetres long. Whoopee-do. But, there’s more. There were more. Tons more. Everywhere. Turns out, the little buggers get eaten by mussels somehow, which is how they ended up inside the soft gooey mussel (sick). Anyhoo, thanks AS (annoying sister) for ruining what could’ve been a perfect meal. As always I wanted a cuppa afterwards. But a member of the party was standing in my way, so I did things the Monarch way. I assassinated him I just ordered it when he was distracted. (He was paying the bill hehe). So… overall quite good.
I also stepped on some broken glass at another beach. The french aren’t too considerate about where they put their glass bottles, whether on the beach, a pavement, or my goddamn fucking foot. Hurt like hell. Few minutes before I realised it was actually glass and it had fucking cut through my heel. Then the lot of blood. Ended up okay though. I can walk again! (It was near the beginning of the week).
What else went on… oh yeah. French rappers, I must say are sooooooooooooooooooooooo hilarious to listen to. I don’t know why. But they just are!
More coming when I remember what I did when I was off my rocker.
Yeah as you can see the title reflects that the quality of the below image is shiiiiiiit but I can’t correct it because I noticed this only after I deleted the original. Bugger.
You know I wish macromedia flash and fireworks could be combined into some sort of super tool. That would be cool. If anyone out there knows of such a thing, just shout in the box. That’s what it’s there for. I do have an email address for this blog but the thing is… well you see… I’m just… too… lazy to really do anything about it. I might do it later because of the whole “week away” thing.
Anyway back to this image. Bad quality. Grr. Too many things on the Internet and World Wide Web are bad quality nowadays. That is why I am starting the Campaign for Better Quality (on the internet). Short name: CBQ. Here it is in bigger font just for memoryness-keepy. Yup that’s what I call it.
So I shall be adding the email address soon… I will stick it somewhere underneath the redundant music player - in fact I think I’ll remove the music player altogether because the piece of shit just is not worth the bother.
What else was I going to say…? Oh yes - If anyone knows of any good movies I can watch while I’m away just say. Because God knows it will be quite a boring holiday. Sure, france - but… France!
Lot of writing I think today, must be the sugar kicking in. Mmm sugar. It’s goooood.
More later.
If I can remember.
Alright, if I can be bothered.
There is nothing to blog about :(. Went to a farm for the past few days… named a chick “Patch”. Hmm.. what else is there?
I am going to France for a week soon… might watch Evan Almighty before I go - well I hope before because I want to watch it on one of the cinema’s big screens not one of the annoying titchy screens. That will also complete all the movies I want to see this summer apart from Transformers… I don’t know about that one though…
Well there hasn’t been much going on in the past few days. Apart from more and more floods. They are moaning about flood defences and the fact that it is going to take millions of pounds to fix everything and fix up future defences but they aren’t saying anything about the fact that it has taken less than a day to get emergency water supplies out to those who need them…
Whatever - I have been playing Rise Of Nations multiplayer lately, and there are a lot of freaks on there. There is one guy who just dishes out insults on the lobby for no reason. Everyone ignores him. This is truly the case of someone who has no life. I really don’t understand - they don’t do anything, just sit there typing in insults to no-one in particular.
If you ever encounter {-WL-}-ABO online, or anywhere, please slap him around the face.
It’s been two days since my last update. I am falling into old habits again! Oooh, dangerously close to never updating… nah. Anyway I was reading the Tall One’s blog and one of his quotes inspired me. This is a message for right wing peoples that have IQs of less than a retarded gibbon monkey who just smashed his head out on a coconut while smoking.
Firstly: Do video games incur violence in children? I think not. Right. Some person goes on a shooting spree in the middle of a crowded place. The first reaction is “Oh no, that poor boy probably got it from violent video games.” Suuure he did. Like which video games in particular? Show me a video game that teaches someone where to go in their hometown to buy a gun/weapon/tank, then how to assemble this gun/weapon/tank, then how to get it past police, then how to suddenly bring a suspicious looking bag into the centre of a crowded place in a world on terrorist alert. Only then I will believe you. Honestly, these people act like we have no brains, that adverts, films, video games, the very media that hates violence is leading us like a pack of brainwashed sheep following lemmings off the edge of the moon. So… first the media companies create these games, and then they lobby against them? Woah, get a grip here. Some people are just so thick it is just unbelievable.
I seem to have used a lot of text effects there… hmm. Maybe it’s got something to do with this new extension I have in MSN messenger which allows these types of monstrosities I mean brilliant works of art.
Right next point: Hug a Hoodie. If you hug a hoodie, most likely you will get slashed across the face and arms with a knife, while they shoot your kneecaps, steal everything you have, destroy your car, and violate you. This is what everyone wants you to believe. They either want to take the firm strict approach, or they want the loving approach. HELLO? What about the INDIRECT approach maybe? Such as stricter import gun laws? Or more bobbys on the beat maybe? Yeesh.
When I put my hoodie on, I don’t suddenly feel the urge or need to smash, destroy or break the law. It doesn’t do anything. It is getting out of hand. Arresting a woman for wearing a hooded cardigan even! Preposterous.
And then these great figures of our day go and write biographies. How cute - not. Who gives a flying monkey fuck what you did when you were young - you were a leading figure, we only care about what you fucking did while on the top. Boring books about your diary. Who cares if on the 21st of January 1995 you had to go to a press conference but forgot to brush your teeth?
Some people even blog about stuff like that. I will never blog about fucking small trivial shits like that.
Be thankful.
“I’m Rick James, bitch.”
