I am officially offended by a pop-up ad...
Normally, they're just an annoyance, and I hardly ever pay attention to the content anyway. Put this one struck my eye, naturally, and it really pissed me off.

1. One consolation
These pseudo-polls scam millions of dollars out of Conservatives. NewsMax runs a lot of them.

2. At least you don't get the ones I get

3. I use Mozilla Firefox
I haven't seen a pop-up since I don't know when. Mmmm... Sweet, peaceful browsing.
