About a year ago, all I got on my computer while surfing the internet was:

"Click something and win a million dollars*!"

"Support this charity, because we say so, and because there's a sad looking kid on the ad!"

"Download this free screensaver(which is deffinetly not spyware) today!


Now, everywhere I turn, there seems to be all these "Get free AIM smileys" ads. Why is everyone starting to make new smileys? Is there some huge, easy profit to be made behind it all? Are people just stupid enough to make these and send them to some site for nothing? Are people even stupider, and download them?

Who the hell is making these thing popular?
