What a load of crap this instant buzz thing is. I was sent a link from some company I bought something from so I thought I’d have a look. It’s a toolbar that displays text ads and the more you look at of other peoples’ ads, the more your ads are shown on others’ toolbars. So far so good. So I downloaded the software, easy peasy. I started to install it and here’s where their rules are – no adult content. Well, instantbuzz doesn’t say what adult content they won’t allow, so even though I have no adult content photos, my blog does talk about some pretty adult things, hence I did not agree to their terms of service and closed the window. If they weren’t going to run an ad for this blog, they could go stuff themselves.

Guess what? Instantbuzz loaded itself on to my computer anyway. Ive got a big red instantbuzz toobar. Now if I had to agree to their terms of service to get this toolbar and I decidedly did not – what kind of crap is that? I was quite indignant that it could install without my even finishing the setup. I went to control panel and tried to delete the program. Instantbuzz pops up a window that says, “in order to uninstall instantbuzz you must reboot.” Ok, says I, I’ll reboot.

I get back on and here’s a window that says, ONE TIME ONLY.. UPGRADE TO whatever it is they are trying to sell at $97 a month! I’ll never see this offer again if I close this window. CLOSED AND QUICKLY SO ! Then I get another popup that says, hey wait — I have another offer and if you close THIS window you’ll never get this offer again. So I closed it and did it quickly!

Then I get another popup asking me to continue with my registration – no delete whatsoever. So I clicked control panel, uninstall instantbuzz and you know what happened.. go back to guess what and re-read cause it happened again and again.

Then I went to instantbuzz help desk. It says I must register in order to get a reply. I entered my details and clicked register. Thanks for registering, click here to submit your problem. I clicked here and I get back to the original login page that says, your details were not correct, please try again. I entered my details again and got to the next page that said welcome and then got sent back to the page that said my details were not correct. It did this 4 times before I clicked another link to do something else and got to the submit a problem page.

I still haven’t received a reply how to get this stupid instantbuzz toolbar off my computer. Instantbuzz is probably full of spyware too. Anything that you can’t delete is pretty suspect if you ask me. Anything that will install itself on your computer without you agreeing to it, is pretty suspect to. If you’ve got it on your computer, I hope it works better for you than it does for me. I’ll never click anything on it. What a waste of my time.

I feel better now that I’ve said all this here. What’s your experience?

***Added*** I still have had no reply from instantbuzz and it’s been nearly 24 hours. 24 hours with this stupid instantbuzz toolbar popping up every time I open a window. I have found that my spyware checker concluded that it was suspect and that I should delete it. Pareto logic who makes xoftspy said I could delete it using their program.

Uh oh, it didn’t delete. I tried again, it didn’t delete. So much for saying it would delete it. So off I went back to google instantbuzz yet again to try to get this damn thing off my computer. I’m using Vista (another problem altogether) which has Windows Defender and one of its favorite things to do is block your spyware program from deleting anything bad from your computer. I followed instructions I found on the net to disable Windows Defender and then ran Xoftspy again and VOILA!!! The damnable instantbuzz is finally removed from my computer. No thanks to instantbuzz.com though! Wankers

It’s true, I swear it. That’s what I heard at a party I went to last night. Not ONE woman admitted to farting. Several of the couples at the party were only dating, so of course those women DEFINITELY didn’t fart. The men were all boozed up and boasting about silent but violent explosions and the almighty flap the covers nights, but not the women. It reminded me of the first time I went to Japan and went into a toilet in the lounge. It had one of those toto toilets and there was a button that just made flushing noises so any escaping noise would be covered up.

Humans pass half a litre of fart gas a day. So if men admit to it, where does it go in women? The truth is that men and women fart an equal amount but men take pride in it and women are embarrassed by it.

Can a woman cover up a fart?
There is a company called Fartypants that sells underwear designed to absorb the odor of farts. Another ploy is to blame the dog or cat, if one should be present, or complain about how the wind must be blowing from the direction of the paper mill.

As for the sound… if you are in a large group of people, act oblivious and innocent, or glance quickly at the person next to you, as if you think he/she did it. Other strategies include coughing or suddenly moving your chair so that people think that they misheard the fart. If you are with one other person, you can act as if nothing happened, and the other person may believe he was mistaken in thinking he heard a fart.

If you’re worried about farting loudly in a public restroom, you can use a handful of loose toilet paper, cover your butt hole and it will muffle the farting; it’s called the ‘Buff Muff’!

What about farting during sex?
I think it all depends on how long the relationship has lasted. If it happened to me, we’d just laugh uncontrollably and get on with the job. My pal Martha said she lost a relationship because the first two times she and this guy she was dating had sex, she farted. It was more than he could take he said, it just wasn’t ladylike.

Everyone farts, it’s only human.

When I first read the heading “Child protection from sexy ads gains favour” I instantly went white inside as all the blood drained from my body in one quick second. All quickly was refreshed when I realized the article in The Age newspaper in Melbourne, Australia wasn’t about our website SexyAds.com.

The article is about removing children from sexually charged advertising and I think that’s a brilliant thing to do. As the owner of a website with adult content, we go way out of our way not to have children on our site that I’m amazed that others don’t do this, especially on bus enclosures, billboards and magazines. Kids can’t ignore them. We don’t permit anyone under 18 to join our site and if they lie and they’re caught, we delete and ban them from coming back. We also delete anyone who submits a photo that we think is “young looking.” I’d rather be wrong. Kids need to be kids until they’re old enough to make their own choices. We don’t show any member submitted adult images to anyone outside the special paid section.

On an amusing note, over the past 10 years we have had a few people who’ve written to us and told us that their kid had stolen their credit card and joined our site and please delete and give them their money back. We always do our best to accomodate if the people acknowledge that their kid is at fault. One guy really pissed me off once when he said that his kid joined our site and stole his credit card for 3 months and we were horrible people for having this website online and destroying his child. I looked the “child” up and the membership was a 44 year old man who had logged in 129 times from a major corporation’s IP address and had written to 76 women. Our experience is that if a kid joins, he’s 18-21. He doesn’t join as a 44 year old man!

So I wrote to him and said that his problem wasn’t that his kid saw a naked person, his REAL problem was that his kid was a thief!

I should have said that I thought he was a crook but I let that slide. Normally I’m a mild mannered person but every once in a while someone can get on my last nerve.
