Would you click on this ad?

Are people as stupid as they appear, or are they even worse?

But seriously, did you click the ad? If you did, what were you thinking? You had no idea I’d linked it to a news article about how many people clicked that ad when it ran on Google. The link is to an X Biz article. Enjoy, and consider yourself lucky if you clicked that link and didn’t get infected.

I know this is how it works, because I used to work for a company where some idiot attached an infected file to an email that said “Don’t open this, there’s a virus in it” and mass mailed it to everybody in the company. Over a thousand people clicked it and had to get their computers disinfected.
