Comic Transcript

CUSTOMER: Everytime I go to your site, I keep getting these !@#$% pop-up banner ads! Why are you using those !@#$% things???

ALEX: Our Marketing Division has determined that pop-up ads are far more effective than standard ads.

ALEX: By forcing you to close a new browser window, you are required to interact more thoroughly with the ad, increasing the likelihood of that ad “imprinting” itself into your psyche.

CUSTOMER: But they’re driving me insane!

ALEX: Insane customers are statistically more likely to purchase expensive electronic goods.
