Pet Peeve: Sponsors with "cash", "revenue" in the link url.

Hehe, I understand what is bothering you, but actually the solution to this is quite easy. Instead of using JavaScript to hide the hover, you can make this go through a redirect script or meta redirect page. Like for example a page with the following HTML:

Code:

<html><head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1; URL=http://redirecturl.com">
</head></html>

Don't blame the sponsors for having names

True, true. It is ust one of those things where I wonder why they do it. You know. I recall a study some time ago. It was shown that essentially whenever people are reminded of money, it tends to make them cheaper than they otherwise would be if not in that mindset initially. You have to wonder how much as a percentage is lost in sales due to all the "BLING, BLING stuff" all over the place. Much better to keep them focused on the SEX with the money as a minimal afterthought I'd think.

"Here's 20GB of HOT TEEN porn.... So much it will keep you busy for YEARS oh, yeah, almost forgot, it is a mere $20 mr. surfer for all of this! think of all the babes in there."

or

"BLING, BLING! I'm the pimp! Give me your $20 so I can get a new BMW and then I will let you in. But I need my dough! Gotta get the money. Pay up."
