I just got a pop-up ad for a pop-up killer.

That was surreal. And no, I didn’t download it.

Ironic advertising, innit? Demonstrate the problem, offer the solution. Tacky but might be effective as much as it irritates - if someone asked you to name a brand of min-camera how many people would say “X10”?

“If you can read this ad, you need this product!”

Pretty effective technique, I agree.

All pop-up ads are ads for a pop-up killer.
