I'm feeling deja vu reading this. There was a rather popular website I would frequently visit that tried to deal with this. About 6-8 years ago with the primitive ad blocking that was available, it would gripe at you if it "detected" you were blocking ads and refuse to let you click anything.

The owner had a rather extreme view of "If you block ads, you are stealing and you should go to jail" which was rather unpleasant to the userbase considering the site had some of the most obnoxious ones of the time.

Needless to say, the site no longer exists and is long out of business. Really, getting angry over blocked ads just wont work because it will always be a cat and mouse game.

I would also not put it past networks suing people getting off their sofa during the commercial block or webmasters suing readership because their eyes did not hover over the ungodly annoying ad long enough.

As such, I have no problems leaving AdBlockPlus running when it saves me from the horrible type of ads I see at places like IMDB.

I call fake also. A tv that age would likely have a Z-80 for a cpu which runs at best 8mhz. The bootup is more like that of a 3ghz PC, not a slower processor. A 200mhz machine would have spent several minutes before he could have even logged in.

And hes doing all that on a slow 8-bit processor?

This is a bad idea for those who live in Brasil though... he's being quite rude with that gesture!
