Jesus, every other page I go to on Gamespy.com there is allways this HUGE pop-up that takes up like, half the screen, trying to make me join the military. It just never ends!! Im looking at Everquest 2 screen shots and allmost everytime I open one this thing jumps out and says, "be a hero... JOIN THE ARMY!!" and, "We are doing our part.... WHAT ABOUT YOU?!" Is this constantly happening to any other people? Its really getting annoying as hell and its never going to stop... ITS NEVER GOING TO STOOOOP!!!!!!

    Get Firefox. It's a very nice, fast, modern, secure, convenient browser with a built in pop-up blocker and live bookmarks.

    Those annoying pop ups won't bother you any more. :D In fact, pop-ups from just about any site won't bother you any more although you'll get one once in a blue moon.

    Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of Gamespy's nearly full page flash ads that they randomly toss between links. So that'll still be there, but at least they won't he pop-ups.

    I use Gamespy to play America's Army...get it? Gamespy is the only way to play AA online and AA is a game used to recruit people to the army! Be afraid.

    I'll have to say the crap I find most amusing is on TV when they run a recruiting ad for the army, in SPANISH.

    I just sort of think to myself, "What the hell."

    Lol, I love those commericals too. Like those Army movies where America allways wins, they are way too funny image. Like, "Five American solders... versus all of Africa!" Because, you know... the US soldiers can never be killed!

    What I find strange is that you see alot of Navy and Army commericials on tv, but rarely to do see Marines and the Airforce being advertised. The Army is the one that I see advertised the most. Weird...image

    Thats because the Army and Navy isnt as elite as say Marines. You dont see Lamborghini commercials being played as much as ford commercials!? See what im saying.
