Advertisement is slowly pervading every aspect of our lives. We live bombarded
with images and sounds whose only purpose is to make us react, like Pavlov's dogs or zombies,
in order to consume. We not only HAVE TO buy totally useless products: we have been
transformed in products ourselves.
Our enemies are now installing ads in
the railway tunnels... you will have a stroboscopic effect while passing by. They are going to
project ads on clouds and onto the evening sky. They have already transformed our whole life,
for profit, in an inferno of unsolecited continuous consumistic pushes. Already now you cannot
(and definitely in the future you will not) read, sleep, love, think or move around
without being bombarded by ads, all
intended to deceive you in order to push you to consume something, to buy something, to waste
your life for "their" profit.
Why should I be compelled to watch advertisements when I drive, walk, read?
And, pray, why should my kids
be compelled to watch advertisements whatever they wish to make? Advertisement in the schools?
Advertisement on the clouds? Wofür?
I dislike this, therefore I'm going to do what
little I can to change
this situation and damage those that damage me and the people I love.
So I am going to retaliate. A vain enterprise? Maybe, yet as you will see I'm not
without weapons against this "zillions of money" worth industry:
I'm a reverser, I reverse "Quod tegitur, magnum creditur esse malum", n'est ce pas? so the first task is
simply to SHOW things that happen :-) Since we are using the web for our search purposes,
and since we are annoyed by any 'compulsory advertisement', this section
of my site will begin dealing mainly with the methods that we can use
to get rid of those useless ads we meet when searching.
As you'll see there are many possible options,
and some of them -incredible but true- do actually seem to work, eheh.

Please bear with me, this is just a first attempt. This section is still a little
messy, due to the recent porting to searchlores. You may help me to clean and update what
is needed. Note also that
many good essays in the [reality
cracking] lab have QUITE A LOT of interesting anti-advertisement techniques and info inside.
Read them, starting from +ORC's world-famous [Supermarket enslaving tricks] , and
have a look at some interesting anti-advertisement tools in [Adding the Blemish of Truth : How to Alter a Billboard]

section as well)
On this specific lab we will begin with some WORKING methods to fight advertisement, among other things
some approaches to "cure" the bannerclicking inferno
the bastards advertisers have prepared for us on the Internet. I'm glad to present here the following
essays:
THE AUREATE DISCUSSION
Steve Gibson's [Aureate discussion]
you can
download [here] his 'opt out' utility against spyware.
(Steve is a good guy and a fine assembler programmer -his "spyware removal tool" has been written in assembly and weights
only 31 kbytes - but he seems to have been scared by the Aureate info-thiefs' lawyers to
the point to state, now, that
he likes 'the idea of advertising-supported software' :-(

A whole section with various essays
Hodie mihi, cras tibi
I'm sure many readers will understand how important all this could be. But your own help is needed. Send
your observations, contributions, essays, tricks. Insiders' information would be particularly welcome: I know
for instance that every year there are some 'impossible task in advertisement' awards, for the
best ad-campaigns that had success in selling an 'impossible' product, because so awful, useless,
dangerous or whatever that even zombies refused to buy it (before the ad brainwashing that
won the price, that is :-( One of the prices, some years ago, was awarded to
the criminals that
prepared an advertisement campaign
in order to sell the 'Yucca' cheese,
(made by Kraft), a cheese made with 'spare parts' so disgusting
that noone in his right mind could ever want to buy it. Well, they won the award, people
begun eating more of that stuff... I imagine that after the
[BSE-crisis] they'll have started
mobilizing nice advertisers who are -I'm sure- already
working hard in order to convince people to accept to eat their poisoned meats...
Your help is needed! Use your reversing eyes, knowledge and wits!
