S.S.D.D. (Poisoned Minds)

[strredwolf]

I'm now forced to coin a new phrase. 

"Technical Violation -- Ticketed and removed."

The rule with ads is that you never play any audio without user permission.  99% of the time it annoys the user.  It's a rule enforced with Keenspot and Comic Genesis, and it's a good rule that should extend to Flash based comics.

Today's S.S.D.D. proves that point.  On load, it starts crying like a baby.  And I load a bunch of webcomics in tabs, so I'm thinking "Crap.  Some idiot's playing audio without my permission."  It turns out it's the comic.

Well, the story was getting to be plotless anyway.  We already know where this comic ends.  All of this is backfill.  Plus, the author reminds me of idiots who post on news.admin.net-abuse.email.  So much illogic...

Oh well.  Zero loss compression.

By the way, it's not a Keenspot ad. Keenspot ads pitch Keenspot stuff, and kept themselves sane from the get-go. The provider for the non-Keenspot ads is Burstnet (check them URL's in Firefox's DOM inspector!), of which Keenspot has some control over (it can ban some ads from showing, from what I hear).
