Blog-verse Annoyances

So, out of the need to distract myself from the absolute boredom that is my day job, I've been blog surfing using the "next blog" button on the blogger bar.

Why is it that the "next blog" button seems to cycle through 10 blogs, then repeat itself?

Why is it that the "next blog" button always seems to take me to those annoying blogs that play music, and don't have a "next blog" button?

Why is it that the "next blog" button tends to also take me to those really REALLY annoying blogs that pop up a little window that says "hi! I love you!" and require you to TYPE something into them to get past it? And if you don't want to type something in, you have to manually crash your browser to get it to leave you alone?

Why is it that these same annoying blogs always have pop-up ads that clutter my screen?

It makes me wish that blogger didn't allow people to modify their templates in such attrocious ways (did I spell that right? I dunno. I'm too lazy to hit up the dictionary to check).

Fine, fine, people want to be original and unique and whatnot. But please, can't they do that without making complete nuisances (again, spelling, who cares) of themselves? I mean, if I wanted to be bombarded with virus laden pop-up windows and horrible music, I'd go browse porn sites.

Bleh.

Today is sucking.

Maybe I'll post something more meaningful later.

Update:

OMFG! Now, all I get when I hit the "next blog" button are video porn blogs!

Jeezus Fucking Christ people, I'm at WORK here!

Thank god its a damned govt job, or I'd probably get fired for my accidental porn viewings.

And for the record, it was NOT pretty. Not. NOT. NOT pretty.

*gags*

    I have concluded that Next Blog features primarily recently updated blogs.

    Cos those blogs are by kids who have found a way to remove the NavBar. I used to remove it, but I find it a useful starting place for this very activity.

    Cos you don't have a pop-up blocker? And everybody and their grandmother thinks they can actually earn money by putting code on their blogs for said popups?

    I hate that too....
