Warner Brothers And IMBD Hold Browser Hostage With 'V' Ad

v_imbd.jpg

Perhaps it's just us but this morning we have been attacked by one of those porn-style redirect ads. We were checking out the cast of the upcoming James Bond flick, Casino Royale on IMBD when, after about five seconds, we were whisked away to a promotional sweepstakes eprize page for the movie V. No amount of reloading on use of the back button would stop the fucking ad page from forcing itself upon us. Someone over at Warner Brothers or IMBD better get their shit together or start kicking the shit out of whatever spammer is foisting this crap upon us.

Same thing happens to me. And that's even after having to close a giant ad for something on HBO Video that I didn't sit through.

I just tried it and was not hijacked.

It's IMDB, not IMBD

I usually turn my firewall to "lockdown" and then close crap like that. It's been the only way I've found to kill the BS you describe. Beats having to physically disconnect.

blablablbabla what a bunch of clueless dicks.
