WHUZZUP!

It’s 10PM. Do you know where your malignant websites are?

Posted on Sunday September 17, 2006Saturday October 7, 2006 by Eric Brooks

Ever use Anonymizer on MySpace? Besides the anonymous surfing, it serves to filter out known malignant websites…. many of whom serve ads there.

You may recall back in July when a malignant ad affected millions there, and Tom urged everyone to upgrade their flash player?

Check this out…

Here is the message that Anonymizer gives you:

Warning!The site you are attempting to access has been flagged by Anonymizer’s Malicious Site Filter. Anonymizer blocks many sites used for spyware, viruses, spam robots, phishing scams, and other privacy violations.If you understand that Anonymizer has indicated that this site is dangerous, but you would like to see the page anyway, please select one of the options below.We strongly advise that you do not visit this site.

Hmmmmm….

Tower ad from bulletins page... BLOCKED But that’s not the only place this is happening. Some ads go through and some don’t. Here is another screenshot from tonight. A tower ad on the bulletins page was blocked. Certain Leaderboard ads on top has been blocked as well.

Rockstar: Supernova

Mates1

Classmates.Com

Webalize.Com

Insweb.com

Are all ok and show, but the others are being blocked by Anonymizer for some reason.

Could be something serious. Could be nothing.

I certainly have no problem with MySpace collecting information with cookies (I believe it’s in the TOS I agreed to.), but anonymizer doesn’t just block ads or sites for little or no reason.

Does this mean several ad servers have been blocked by Anonymizer? Or is it the ads themselves? Is there still a threat of malignant adware or trojans being transmitted? Is this just part of the business of what they do to give their customers “free” service?

I don’t know, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to ask….

Politics, Post 9/11 style

Posted on Tuesday September 12, 2006Wednesday September 20, 2006 by Eric Brooks

*SIGH*
I had no intention of entertaining the “propaganda-drama” that aired on ABC. What people like Michelle Malkin and her buddies have failed to mention in their manufactured outrage and screams of “censorship” is that it was riddled with fictional scenes and misinformation… I mean not even a link from them about it.

Dishonesty as usual. (Gee, shock?).

We all would rather watch a good football game anyway.

They’re pissed that the Clintons (unlike most Democrats) wont take any shit from them. They’ve dealt with most of the GOP’s slander and attacks all through Bill’s 8-year presidency and the best they got on him was a blowjob in an investigation that cost the taxpayers millions.

Which brings me to another point…
Rep. Murtha “Disappointed” That Hillary Clinton Didn’t Endorse Troop Withdrawal Plan…

Please tell me they aren’t serious.
Americans aren’t quitters. Cutting and running is for cowards. We’re in Iraq now. It’s our mess and our problem.

Senator Clinton knows that a withdrawal would be a disaster. She also knows a thing or two about standing your ground.

You fail to realize that you’d be back in power if you provided less criticism and more solutions, don’t you?
I have the solution to all of this, do YOU Democrats?

No words to say…

Posted on Monday September 11, 2006Wednesday September 20, 2006 by Eric Brooks

The web is filled with pictures, posts, memories, stories, rants, propaganda and conspiracies about what happened five years ago today. There’s nothing I can add.

Not even my tears.
I was all cried out a long time ago.
I was born and raised in New York City.

All I have to offer you is my Love, a hug, and the promise that everything will be alright. It always works out.

There is no 9/11 conspiracy, you morons!

Posted on Tuesday September 5, 2006Thursday September 7, 2006 by Eric Brooks

Rather than me coming up with something wild and far-fetched (Like how assholes in New York can *honestly* believe I’m divorced and no longer seeing or supporting my children… you know the ones I stayed home from work and picked up from school today?), I bring you another nutty conspiracy theory skillfully debunked by the man I want to be when he grows up: MADDOX….

[There is no 9/11 Conspiracy, you morons]

You see… as long as the Democrats allow lunatics to continue spouting stuff like this, and not disavow them… they will continue to lose and wonder why people use the term “The Looney Left”. With the mid-term elections coming up, and no doubt Terrorism will be the number one topic and ace in the hole for Fox “News” types, we can’t afford to lose this one.

These nutjobs and conspiracy theorists do NOT speak for me. Go take your “Illuminati” fairy tales someplace else.

Tortilla Man LIVES!!!!

Posted on Friday August 25, 2006Thursday February 15, 2007 by Eric Brooks

Ya know… I should check my links more often.

Back in 2000, Richard Rubin hired me to design “Tortilla Man” (or at least that’s what I call him) and the “La Tortilla Loca” logo , and we were going to design his website next. Nicest guy you could ever work with. We lost touch shortly after that, and I assumed he never got a website done or the product out. So I put the project in my “Dead In The Water” section (Did I really write “indistry”??? JEEZ!).

Well… had I bothered to click on the link to www.latortillaloca.com in the last four years I would have known he did INDEED get a website. (And the guys at kt Webdesigns did a great job too.).

As Richard wrote me recently: “Eric, all is alive and well, we are selling 1,000’s of our tortilla warmers and the the logo you designed is still going strong, we are far from DEAD IN THE WATER’ as you state on your site.”

See what happens when you assume kids? LOL!

Well I think this is great news and if there’s anyone I wanted to see make a success of his ideas it was him! Congratulations Richard, and LONG LIVE TORTILLA MAN!!!! 😀
(Now I gotta move that out of Dead in the Water and make it a logo design entry.)
