    You can tell when the ratings take a dive 'cause they drag Hitler out of storage, dust him off, and do another show about how he and Himmler were bisexual transvestite lovers or some shit.

    Clicking that thumbnail spawned a popup of Italian eBay

    like

    just ebay.it in a popup window

    ?

    This is the url of the image itself:

    If it takes you anywhere else then maybe you've got a spyware issue?

    edit; did you mean the link takes you to italian ebay, or it takes you to the image and an italian ebay popup shows up as well?

    imageshack, and many other free image hosting services, create urls that end in the filename which don't actually direct straight to the file

    for example, try clicking on that

    (I'll wait)

    Now, as you can see, that is a wrapper page that includes a rating device, some ads, and a comments page

    I imagine, seeing as the banner ad is for eBay, that the popup is just another revenue generator

    why it redirected to the italian version of the page is the mystery, here

    I know how imageshack works.

    It's just strange. One of the reasons I use it is because it never gives me popups. I even set Opera to "open all popups" and tried it a bunch of times. Still nothing. I get ads in the frame, but that's it.

    What kind of stuff does Italian Ebay have, anyway?

    Lame. I was hoping it would be like ugly shirts and Magnum PI style aviator sunglasses and really weird porn.

    edit: Also Polago I used that image as the background for my Xbox 360 for a while. It's pretty awesome. Resolution is too weird to use as a PC desktop without adding some more blackspace but it would probably look pretty cool if someone did.

    Seriously. Just listen to the TV for an hour or two. He narrates so many damned shows and commercials...it's crazy.

    I love it too, he's got a great voice and presence.


    Classically trained opera singer and all that.

    You are missing out my friend.


    Though, I understand your pain. My mother and sister have the same problem. :(


    edit: wait...crabs and garlic butter? Nope. Maryland blue crabs. steamed in beer and Old Bay. That's all you fucking need.
