Stumble it!

It is quite surprising that these sites exist and haven't been shut down or removed from search engine ads.

No surprize. Check out www.tvcentral.org. They'll try to sell you BitComet for $30.00, then tell you to check out their movie and tv "library", which is a link to torrentspy.

Good for them. Perhaps knicking the wallets of all these fucking idiots who are somehow allowed access to a computer will help teach them to either fire brain synapses, thus invoking intelligence and inducing thought, or simply stay off the Internet.

I think the link should stay on Google, if your stupid enough to buy it then Google can record this and post other ads which are as stupid as these and make loads of money. lol.

Not everyone sits on the computer religiously like alot of us do, so why should they be shafted by assholes? Would you want a mechanic to shaft you when he fixes your car? What about a carpenter? The list goes on. Don't be such assholes just because not everyone knows as much shit about computers as you guys do.

Yep computers are used quite often by normal people who don't really care how the computer works. Most consumers want is I turn it on and I can use word, email, and surf the net for them the rest of the process is zilch. People need to be informed though, but there will always be those who are reluctant and end up falling for the scams. So I guess it falls down on those who know to police or at least inform. These sites should be taken down.

thats just horrible, many times ive been to sites where they ask for money, for freeware, or other stuff, but ive been smart enough to get out.

thats why i use torrents now. great software, already cracked, and best of all, no paying ever.

I dont see ignorance being an excuse. If you fall for a scam than that is what you get.

If you worry about what you are spending your money on then it is not hard at all to get a second opinion, especially if you dont really understand what you are going to buy.

Fido Quick Take On The RNC
Being an open minded individual, I decided to spend a couple hours watching the Republican national convention in St Paul, or Minneapolis, Minnesota, or wherever it is. I had initially tuned in to watch Sarah Palin’s address, in order to maybe get a read on what she may be all about. I regret that I couldn’t get that far. After viewing Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani speak to the delegates, I felt an overwhelming need to seek asylum in another country. ...
