You won’t believe what happens next!
Some garbage website gets your IP and you’ll be forever spammed with Viagra ads, solicitations to “meet beautiful Russian girls,” and diets that help you “melt away pounds” just by consuming one magical ingredient available for only $19.95.
My anti-virus anti-trojan protection will not let me even open these.
That’s one heck of a trick. Ya get $10,000 or 20 years of 3 hots and a cot (which is worth more than $10,000).
Never been able to sit through a whole one. They bore me to death even before they start asking for money.
You know those videos where the voiceover tells you, over and over that “I’ll tell you more about that in just a minute,” and an invisible hand keeps drawing cartoons and rubbing them out, and the cartoons are about oil, or gold, or silver, or weird critters living in your stomach that are throwing your metabolism off? And you can’t tell how long the video is, and there’s no way to fast forward?
How long ARE those video? An hour? Ten hours? I’ve never found out.
The article say’s 15-20 minutes. which ended up being 14-19 minutes too long.
