Remember Those Annoying X-10 Pop-Up Ads?
X-10 just filed for Chapter 11 and has another 15 days to give the courts their financial statements. Annoy enough people and people will stay away in droves. :)

1. Yes, that was an
extremely annoying ad campaign!

Probably decent cameras...but people got to hate them.

3. The Best Part Is That They Stole The Pop-Up Idea

And lost a 4.3 Million-Dollar lawsuit. They have 15 days to file a financial statement or the bankrupcy gets dropped. Maybe a decent company will buy the business. :)

4. I always loved how...
the ads talked about "home security surveillance" and the image always showed a bikini-clad babe being ogled from head to toe. Riiiight. Surveillance.

5. Maybe some of those bikini-clad babes...
...were hiding weapons in their little bikinis. You don't know.
