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.

Crack or Meth tonight?

post a screenshot

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.

LOL :thumbsup

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

The Truth Hurts
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 :321GFY your in the wrong business. And probably not the kind of client we need.

charly is Alan Ralsky of content providers!

Go get em Paul!
You tell those fuckers where to stick it!

A cocktail of both, you remember in Vegas you gave me your recipe?

And it's morning here. :1orglaugh

Back off lardass. If I wanted to hear shit, I'd squeeze your head :1orglaugh

ghey

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?

Keep it up and I will post the pics of you and the tranny hooker.

Bastard.

You made a promise :glugglug

First, Who the fuck said anything about you posting pictures on GFY?

Second, if you only knew how much cash you lost by being the prick that you are, you'd be under my desk tonguing my balls right now, begging me to be your client.

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.

Bwahahahahaaaa:1orglaugh

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 :321GFY

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. :Graucho

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

I can't wait to see that tech story updated to include wireless :drinkup

Pay attention numbnuts, I was replying to your posts.
Wasn't that blatantly obvious?
Do you have any idea how much MORE you COULD have made?
Tonguing the balls does not a blow job make.
Your lack of 'real-world' business experience is showing.
Uhm... What?
Wow, astonishingly original.
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?
Add up the cost of your entire catalog of photos... THAT is exactly how far ahead I am.

BTW, AaronM..

I'm trying to check out your content...
But keep getting

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

all of that typing yet he can't type a simple url of his OWN work....

Charly: You are not talking about Homegrown Video... who are you talking about?

For the record, we don't solicit anyone for content as we are solicited by people from all over the world, nor do we do anything in the manner you describe.

My URL's have nothing to do with the conversation.

O.K. so is there a good homegrown, and a bad homegrown, or are they one and the same? help a newbie out!

I will start smoking some pot and I should be able to get up to speed here but since I am not yet stoned, I am having trouble ! who is the bad guy? who is the good guy?

Far, I did "solicit" him for some content for Xplor.

Paul, what are you talking about? Downloading an icon?

Ludedude you are FUNNY!

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.

Thanks.

If you want to discuss us doing work for you can you ICQ or email me paul at banapro dot com.

Yes your site does download an Icon. When I clicked on "Click here to start" I got a file download window. 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.

RATBOY it was not maliscious, it was annoying and for someone less used to using a computer than me it could be disasterous.

They have everything to do with this conversation.

Yes I'm an arrogant bombastic idiot. On a good day. :)

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.

You on the other hand are WHO?

:uhoh

Before you libel one of the most ethical companies in the biz; (I'm sure you don't want to do that); you might want to be absolutely clear as to where the icon/download originated from. 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'.

What's the exact URL you went to? I can't find any icons promising me movies anywhere.

You sure you don't have some sort of spyware or something installed on your machine, Charly?

You've been in the business how long? And don't know you never download a file unless you know what it is, PARTICULARLY if it's an exe file???

This is why we have so many virus-and-trojan infected users, so many compromised cable modem machines, because people download 'free pr0n'.

OK

Maybe I got re-directed.

I typed in www.homegrownvideo.com and then ended up here;

http://66.128.204.5/index.asp?id=ce&geo=CZ&af=99212807

On that page is Click Here to start

That is where the Icon was.

I've only been on the net for 18 months, been in porn longer, and am a novice with computers.

Charly: Sounds like what you are describing is the "virtua girl" desktop icon...

We have nothing to do with that.

If you show me the page where you picked it up, then I will be happy to point out where it is not us that is responsible.

There is only one Homegrown Video. And it is good.

I don't know. I just went there and got the regular homegrown site again.

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

I can't enter homegrown either. Gets redirected to some dialer shit.

Thank you both for bringing that to my attention. I apologize, Homegrown has been redirecting euro traffic to a dialer.

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