    I thought this was kinda funny and I would share with everyone. Well anyways, I checked my email this morning and I found this.

    To which I replied

    And finally he responds with

    I thought everyone is familiar with the infamous, you are the 1,000,000 visitor advertisement.

    By the way, it was the FastClick/ValueClick ad, he saw.

    Haha, Well just try to be polite as possible and put them on their way.

    This reminds me of when my dad was using the computer, this was about a week ago, he saw an advertisement about winning (it may have been the same one), and I said, press F5 (to refresh), he did it and I said, Hey you won a million dollars and an ipod. Then he knew it was fake, haha.

    Haha, my mom fell for this one too. Once I walked in and she was like "Ben can you help me? It says I was the 999,999th visitor and I win something."
