Whenever I go to sign in to my Yahoo mail account, there's an ad with some heinous picture telling me that I should sign up for Yahoo mail. But I already have signed up for Yahoo mail, or I wouldn't be on the page that has the ad in the first place. And what is it about these awful people that's supposed to entice me into signing up? This guy is one of the worst, although there's also that fool with the orange flowers up his nose.

Bronwyn,
I would happily send you a gmail invite so that you could leave those creepy Yahoo! people behind forever and ever.
Am I to be trusted? My aunt and uncle live in Atlantic, IA. You be the judge.
Shawn
p.s. thank you for your posts; I always enjoy them.

Yeah, for reasons I don't understand I began to loathe the guy with the orange flowers (they're in his ears not his nose) .
If you use Firefox I'd recommend the Remove it Permanently extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=521&application=firefox). It'll help you clean up pages that you frequently visit by removing junk like that. Right now my Yahoo sign in page looks like this: http://www.crepusculum.org/imago/rip.gif

oh god, i've never seen that one! come to think of it, mine are always heinous pictures of females...guess they've assigned each gender their own set of irritating "candids".

I hate the woman with the blue towel on her head. Is she zany or what? Yahoo! must use the same lame ad team as Walmart and McDonalds when trying to attract a "hip" crowd.

How about the good ones though? The girl w/ the red stained tongue? The cowgirl on the beach getting squirted w/ a watergun?

Yeah they're all annoying. I especially cannot stand the 'celebrity' cameos they use sometimes. Particularly, this one with Kid Rock. Makes me want to punch him in the throat every time:
