Are you said person? Do you know said person? If he is alive its probably a good thing everyone thinks he's dead.
I met him a couple of times a few years ago (I knew his girlfriend), and he was pretty much in hiding back then.

Anyway, he's definitely alive.

The iPhone internet advert always slows down my computer to an unbearably low framerate (without any other programs running, just the browser). Suffice to say, I don't feel like buying an iPhone anytime soon.

I already hate the Wii enough already but here in Britain we have adverts with "Ant and Dec" playing the Wii with others in houses and pub's and its so annoying and cringe worthy, you can notice they're faking it.

I heard the kid who did this commited suicide or something ridiculous. It doesn't surprise me.

...

Are you him?

OT: Can't think of anything at the minute, but I watched one of those douche adverts on youtube the other week. Those ads are just weird.

What a shame:

When I finally rise to power I can assure you all that my first act will be to track that kid down and have him executed.

I second that.

And of course everything on Spotify. I really hate that. Not only are the commercials annoying, they pop up in the middle of some awesome playlist! You're in the middle of a daydream/fantasy or something and at the climax: "Hi! We collect donations for the victims in Haiti..." PLEASE! Now my hate will spill over on them too. "Did you know that Spotify playli..." *furious gnawing*

Fortunately there are options. Options good enough too replace Spotify. (This forum helps a lot :).)

[Blank] On ads.

The ones that constantly repeat, "[Blank] On, apply directly to the [Blank]!"

replace [Blank] with what ever version they're selling.

It's crap from an advertisers perspective. It does nothing to explain the product or entice viewers to buy it. It also annoys to no end.

In Finland we got the badly dubbed Commercials. And also I hate car commercials and those that are pushed in to your face. Aka. All forms of commercials...

The hypocritical "I'm a Mac, and I'm a pc" crap. I can't stand it. That's why I've been boycotting Apple for years.

The Mac adverts, they just annoy me. Also the Windows 7 adverts are getting more and more annoying with that "windows 7 was my idea" bullshit.

He didn't commit suicide. A bomb dropped on him.
