Sorry, wrong word, I meant to say our favourite Carlson Twins.

BTW, using Adblock is unethical. ;-)

Adblock is unethical? I guess me and Donzilla are unethical too. (or my name is Niccolo Machiavelli, who didn't have any standards of right or wrong anyway)

Well, using Adblock is [sdt=8286]unethical[/sdt].
Please use another thread to discuss the [sdt=8286]ethics of blocking ads[/sdt].

Adblock is useful for more than just blocking ads, such as blocking unwanted images and flash animations.
