Why do pop-up ads on websites start off "THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!! YOU ARE A WINNER!! CLICK HERE FOR...!"
I thought a joke was supposed to be something like:
Q: How many hipsters does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: It's a really obscure number, you probably haven't heard of it.
Why don't the pop-up ads start off "THIS IS NOT A SCAM!!!"??? Why don't they?
Who's afraid of a joke? Nobody. People are wary of scams, not jokes.
I think there should be some stimulus money spent on educating those writing spam and pop-up ad copy, so as to annoy the rest of us less. :-)
