don't click

Don't click on the link below this one. It's a troll that messes up your browser. (delete both of these in kind when resolved, thanks)

Some people might object to this FPP, but I kind of wish I had thought of it to warn off others.

Somehow my popup blocking got turned off and that link REALLY pissed me off. Maybe this will keep some more people from walking into it.

Eighteen is such a painful age.

Yeah, who knew so many trains could wreck at once?

Methinks it's time to just go to sleep.

Mach3avelli - far from objecting, I think it's the most responsible thing I've seen anyone do for ages - many thanks

Mach3avelli, thanks for the warning.

This post would have greatly benefitted from more supporting links also.

Now that I look at crusiera's posting history, I'm willing to bet that he left himself logged in somewhere and his account got hijacked.

Context for those with a pop-up blocker and a functioning cortex, please.

Kind of like the "Don't push the big red button" thing. It's taking no small amount of restraint to keep myself from clicking that link.

This will be the only thread in Metafilter history not to get political, you republican assholes. Woops.

There was a link below this, provided by my new favorite member, to a tinyurl that apparently sent you to goatse.
posted by yerfatma at 7:35 AM on January 6, 2005

It wasn't goatse, but rather a really annoying script that open up several windows with pictures of multi colored bunny rabbits, with the windows moving around so fast you couldn't close them. Something about GNAA as well, though I closed it out quickly and made sure that it didn't do anything devious.

The referenced thread is not completely deleted. You can still relive the magic.
