    Mr.swellinfo, we all know that running a website isn't cheap, but that is just ridiculous

    Don't mind ads, but that one is invasive. I hope they paid them a lot!

    not sure I know what ad you are referring to? The background skin ad? or some banner ad that becomes invasive? There should be no invasive ads.

    Thats no good... Sorry, I'll investigate.
    These are third party ads... but are definitely not supposed to be invasive like that.

    Invasive ads are ones that block your entire browser and basically force you to watch the ad without xing out or skipping it.

    I got the Mt. Dew ad once and boy did it make me thirsty! I'm surprised none of you guys like 50 grams of sugar, artificial coloring, and loads of caffeine in your drinks. Ha, its kind of funny, take away the caffeine and you have Gatorade.

    The GMO thing caught my eye too. I never had thought about it but every cheap American domestic beer (Bud, Natty, Busch) is made from GMO corn. I only mention beer because it is a necessity and we seriously can't get away from the GMO crap. Not only that but I voted for Obama and he just "signed" a bill to allow GMOs to be sold as "food" in the U.S. (F U Monsanto!).

    too bad there's nothing to drink but bud, natty, busch...
    I had to think for a moment to figure out what organism we could genetically modify to give us more mountain dew, then i remembered our old friend corn syrup

    i do like a mt dew occasionally to perk me up in the morning.

    I guess GMO is the new trendy boogieman.
