Come up with cool uses for the "Winner" Ad!

[ultimatebob]

Since Anandtech doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry to get rid of this stupid flashing "You are a Winner!" ad, I thought that we might want to create some cool uses for it:

1) Create a web page with 20 of these ad banners. It's an easy way turn your CRT into a strobe light!

2) Send the link to any stupid people that you REALLY don't like. Tell them that the more checkboxes that they click on, the more money they'll win! Laugh histarically, knowing that their inbox will be overflowing with SPAM the next day!

3) Use your OWN e-mail address to sign up, and to check if see if your spam filters work correctly!

Come on guys, I'm sure that you can come up with some more great ideas.

<< BTW, it's actually useful. I've read somewhere that flashing can help heal headaches. There was even a special device, the flashing glasses, that helped people with chronic headaches. >>



The headache will be cured, but you will also be in a seizure too...

It's got a really cool use - it gets threads locked.......

word is that he's got a new carerra now. 🙂



anand cant do anything about the ad's... you'd have to complain to whatever ad agency Anand goes through and complain to them.

in the mean time---
Take your laptop to a rave and bring up the page and make a bunch of X'ed out ravers happy.

Yeah, that too. I'm suprised that no one has created a "Make a side bet on how long it will take the moderator to lock your advertising post!" posting by now 🙂

Are you sure that staring at the ad will fix my headache? So far it isn't working... :disgust:
