    Homegrown are fucked up

    I just got a contact from someone at Homegrown to shoot for them. So I went to there site to see what they had and by mistake download an Icon on to my screen.

    This thing is not even on my desk top its on the screen.

    How dare you pull this kind of trick onto a surfer.

    Tell me how to get rid of it. I cant because when I try to delete it my computer tells me it isn use.

    Great marketing ploy pissing off surfers.

        Ridge Hall computer assistance; may I help you?"

        "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."


        "What sort of trouble?"


        "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."


        "Went away?"


        "They disappeared."


        "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"


        "Nothing."


        "Nothing?"


        "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."


        "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"


        "How do I tell?"


        "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"


        "What's a sea-prompt?"


        "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"


        "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."


        "Does your monitor have a power indicator?"


        "What's a monitor?"


        "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"


        "I don't know."


        "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"


        "Yes, I think so."


        "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."


        "Yes, it is."


        "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"


        "No."


        "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."


        "Okay, here it is."


        "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."


        "I can't reach."


        "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"


        "No."


        "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"


        "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's because it's dark."


        "Dark?"


        "Yes, -the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."


        "Well, turn on the office light then."


        "I can't."


        "No? Why not?"


        "Because there's a power failure."


        "A power... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"


        "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."


        "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."


        "Really? Is it that bad?"


        "Yes, I'm afraid it is."


        "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"


        "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

          It's probably less annoying than getting your spam.

          How dare you pull this on potential customers.

              Lukedude very funny

              I never admitted to knowing a lot about computers, but probably as much as the average surfer and this is not the type of trick that will please him. My skills are photography

              You don't want my update emails, then don't sign up on my site. Or ask to be taken off my list. You don't like me posting pictures of naked girls on GFY then your in the wrong business. And probably not the kind of client we need.

                            You will be happy to know I found out how to remove it.

                            But it's not a good idea to install something like this on to the surfers screen. How many will be turned on by it and how many will be annoyed by it?

                                  Third, why would you expect me to ASK you to take me off a list I never ASKED to be on in the first place?

                                    You know...I have paid attention to most of your posts since the day you registered. One thing I can tell you for certain is that your name suits you very well.

                                    One thing I will disagree with though is calling Charly a prick. He is actually one hell of a nice guy but he is occasionally a little misguided.

                                        First: WTF are you talking about?

                                        Second: Do you any idea how much money I make?

                                        Third: Are you into getting Blow Jobs from guy? Is that what all your suppliers do?

                                        Fourth: If you buy content on the criteria of how nice the producer sucks up to you your an idiot. No surfer ever jerked off to that. I sell to top clients because of my work not my attitude.

                                        Fifth: If you are not on my list and are not talking about the pictures I post reread First.

                                        Sixth: At the danger of repeating myself

                                        Seventh: If you want a slanging and mud slinging match put up who you are so we know your not some airhead kid with a big mouth and small balls. Plus get your brain serviced, it's due a major overhaul.

                                        Do yourself a favour shit head and quit while you're behind.

                                          So you had your camera there. I thought it was just for fun.

                                          Thanks for calling me a nice guy, not aggreeing with you 100% definately makes me a little misguided. *kiss ass*

                                              First: WTF are you talking about?
                                              Pay attention numbnuts, I was replying to your posts.
                                              Wasn't that blatantly obvious?
                                              Second: Do you any idea how much money I make?
                                              Do you have any idea how much MORE you COULD have made?
                                              Third: Are you into getting Blow Jobs from guy? Is that what all your suppliers do?
                                              Tonguing the balls does not a blow job make.
                                              Fourth: If you buy content on the criteria of how nice the producer sucks up to you your an idiot.
                                              Your lack of 'real-world' business experience is showing.
                                              Fifth: If you are not on my list and are not talking about the pictures I post reread First.
                                              Uhm... What?
                                              Sixth: At the danger of repeating myself
                                              Wow, astonishingly original.
                                              Seventh: If you want a slanging and mud slinging match put up who you are so we know your not some airhead kid with a big mouth and small balls. Plus get your brain serviced, it's due a major overhaul.
                                              You're not scoring any points this way.
                                              How anyone can stand around taking pictures of beautiful women all day, and still be a total ass is beyond me.
                                              Not getting any?
                                              Do yourself a favour shit head and quit while you're behind.
                                              Add up the cost of your entire catalog of photos... THAT is exactly how far ahead I am.

                                                            Charly:

                                                            I was about to say, there's no way they put malicious scripts on thier pages to force downloads on surfers.

                                                            Everyone I have ever dealt with from Homegrown are the easiest people to get along with. Why didn't you just ask them about it?

                                                            Btw, I love your work.

File Name 99212807.exe it was of a girl flashing her panties. I thought I was getting a movie so saved it to my computer. Then found this girl on my screen constantly. I eventually found the uninstall in my start up menu. It took 20 minutes.

                                                              I just went through the thing again and found that it put the Icon back in my start up menu. I was very careful not to save anything this time.

                                                                But I've been in this busines 25+ years, some good some bad. Eva and I employ 7 people, have a studio and office over 2,000 sq ft. Reguarly get front covers for magazines and our work features on many website tours, me being arrogant again.

                                                                We are all in the business of selling jerk off material. How many guys do you think over the years have jerked off to my work, how many are doing it now? How many of those guys do you think really care who I am? My work sells for us and our clients.

                                                                I'm 52, Eva is 25, so being an arrogant bombastic idiot, works.

                                                                And I love to make fun of myself.

It's quite likely that it is the work of a clever script which you may have downloaded in the past.

                                                                    Being so hasty to presume is not likely to warrant you further 'solicitations'.

                                                                              They could be redirecting foreign traffic, or you could have something on your machine that's causing it.

                                                                                  I will address the matter with our partner to see if there is a less intrusive way to deal with that traffic.
