Netflix/signonsandiego.com

I used to like these guys and even rent from them, until they got greedy and went to a subscription model: pay us $20/mo whether you watch anything or not! Bzzzt. No cigar. And no more money from me. That was just a business decision that didn't match my needs, not really a big deal. It works great for a friend of mine who does rent a lot and more power to him. Until now. I visit a newspaper site (signonsandiego.com), and was confronted with yet another of the "popunder" ads that are specifically designed to work even if you've specifically configured your browser to disallow such things. It's annoying enough to have them in the first place, but to do their best to force them upon you, well, that earns them a place in the Scumbags of the Day list.

Boycott Warner Pacific College

Warner Pacific College has purchased one of the new variety of deleted popup ads that defeat the anti-popup controls in modern browsers. Please give them all the (nonviolent) wrath they deserve for being scumbag of the moment. It never fails to amaze me what absolute f-ing morons these marketing people are that they think that pissing people off is a good way to sell products.
