What is this world coming to?

I've heard that there was once a time where people's privacy was respected, and a private life meant exactly that.

Just seen on a pop-up ad that slipped through the net:

Did Heather marry Paul for his money? Anwer and get a FREE* laptop

* see details

I mean, for ****'s sake, leave them alone!

The times, they are a'changin'.

[tubeguru]

What are the *details, by the way?

Postage of said laptop is £350?

I don't know, I was shocked in many ways* and I didn't end up finding out.

* :-

1: For starters, Windows XP SP2 didn't block the pop-up. Damn you Windows XP, I thought you were perfect [insert sarcasm smiley here]

2: The fact that our modern day society has sunk to such hideous levels of crassness

and

3: That on top of that, they're cheeky enough to put some sort of catch in there as well!
