I'm tempted to buy something from him, even though I don't need it...

Suck it, Tynt
Ever copied a chunk of text from a news article to send to someone, and found that when you paste it you get an annoying attribution line on the end? Something like this:
Some months after the attack in Al Majalah, Amnesty International released photos showing an American cluster bomb and a propulsion unit from a Tomahawk cruise missile.

That's irritating, arrogant and pisses me off. And it's invoked using Javascript and a product from my Annoying Arsehole Company Of The Week, Tynt.
I love some of the comments from their product page:
Improve SEO rankings - read: helps you spam search engines and cheat on how popular your site is.
Drive incremental traffic - read: perpetuates the fallacy that clicks and views actually mean anything on the web. Like the fallacy that single-click activism actually means anything more than someone troubled to move their mouse a couple of millimetres, don't you think that page views that you generated yourself through link spamming might not be a terribly good indicator of actual content attractiveness?
Actionable editorial insights - I'm not even sure what that combination of words means. I think the blurb on the page comes down to pandering to your reader's tastes?
Enhance your user experience - yeah, by spamming. Good move.
Get credit for your content - what for the eight words it takes to trigger the crap on TechCrunch?
Fortunately, there's a fairly easy way to block this bullshit. Add this to your hosts file and null out the lookup from the Javascript to the Tynt server.

Fuck you, spammer, and goodnight.

I see dumb people
Seriously, people.... some dude gets himself shot, and instantly the P2P networks are spammed with malware attempting to exploit the event.
I expect nothing less of your average scum sucking pusbag malware merchant, but seriously - 20,000 people are stupid enough to be resharing the crap? And that's just the front page, there are heap more if you scroll down.

No shit, Sherlock

Your score: 40
0 - 10 = low
11 - 22 = average (most women score about 15 and most men score about 17)
23 - 31 = above average
32 - 50 is very high (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 35)
50 is maximum
Wow, surprised. Not.
