Am i the only one who actually tries the banner links? It seems considering no body actually tests them that they're only there to look pretty.

Anyway, that "yo yo tech" one or whatever seems to have the same problem as the pr0n t-shirt one did.

Yeah the people who make the banners neglect to make the URL open in a child window.

Is that the official term? child window?
Or is that like the old term "nuke" a machine?

look at it this way:

the banner is michael jackson, if he were to open in a parent (window) it would be bad. but if he were to open in a child it would be good...

Makes sense to use them together, no?
