Wow. Bitchy little bitch Washington Post blocked the article, saying "Your ad blocker is on."

Wow, that's a new thing that didn't happen yesterday.

How shitty. To put it bluntly: fuck you, you do not get to infect my computer with malware, fuck off, Washington Post, Malware Deliverers.

I suspect they just look for the most prevalent ad blockers, like mine. I don't like ABP for various reasons, but it mostly works.

Did you go back and see if it happened again? I wonder if yours, probably a higher-grade blocker, just works without identifying itself.

In fact, why not discuss the various reasons I hate them? It's the theme of much of my last episode, so it's still fresh.

Why would any company providing ad blocking software note that people shouldn't block all ads?

Why not give away condoms that only fail when you're having sex with a person capable of providing for children? You can fund it through Operation Rescue. Or how about a seat belt that holds only in really bad accidents? You should be able to get medical service personnel to pony up (here in the States, at least).

I had fun blasting ADP. I plan on having more. Their business model is just so mockable.
