TWO HUGE INTERNET ANNOYANCES

Two things that have been FREAKING me out lately when I'm on the comp:

1) Frigging 'flash' adverts that make a page take FOREVER to load, despite CONSTANT flash drive upgrades!!!!

2) Frigging redirects!!!! WTF is up with this???? I have almost EVERYTHING I visit frequently bookmarked in order to solve the problem, but when I want to visit a NEW site, it takes at least 4-5 tries to get on it without being redirected to some shit page I don't want!

I've tried both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. I don't use IE anymore. I do upgrades and disk cleanups ALL THE TIME. I think all cookies and other shit are in order.

This never used to happen. Pop-up blockers used to be able to stop this sort of thing, but now...this redirecting you to another page problem can't be prevented by using pop-up blockers, so it would appear the sneaky bastards are trying to get you this way.

And one more thing...if I want to use ONLY Mozilla and Google Chrome, WHY do other browsers (like that hateful BING) keep showing up in my toolbar??? Get the hell out! I don't want you!

FOOTBALL PLAYER SENT OFF FOR GENITAL PIERCING

I thought this was hilarious when I came across it.

http://terratv.terra.com.co/videos/Deportes/Futbol/5342-313285/Jugador-es-expulsado-por-usar-piercing-en-los-genitales.htm

The video doesn't show you much, though. I love how everyone else seemed to find this amusing except for the player himself and the referee.

The mystery intrigues me...how did the ref know about the piercing in the first place? And secondly, how would it possibly be a problem on the pitch?

Okay, thanks to "Who Ate All The Pies" I found this post-match video where the Australian player, Aaron Ecklestone, explains or tries to explain, how it happened. Unfortunately he seems to have imbibed one too many pints along with his mates, so it's a bit difficult to follow. But I did enjoy their banter.
