   Yes, 100% agree.  Like those guys who pay their back alimony payments in rolls   
   of pennies, just to annoy the ex-wife.

   I really hope so. Those stupid banners are ridiculous, useless, and   
   annoying.  Ever get one where the choices are "agree to choking on our   
   donkey shit" or "manage cookies" where "Manage" takes you to a   
   management console, which is an enormous admin/bureaucracy time waster   
   with tons of options.  Dicks.
