Levels of Annoyance: messing with my speaker volume control
Imagine me perusing the web late at night, the cat sound asleep in my lap. Suddenly the muted volume control comes alive with a blast of something that sounds like heavily-distorted female grunting while on the toilet. Yes, I'm talking about Imagetwist, which has the temerity to commandeer my computer volume control. While I medicate the cat scratches, it occurs to me that this is going way too far in the direction of annoy-them-to-get-their-attention. Yes, I've cancelled the irritating Live Jasmine popup countless times, even the ones that appear half-off-screen to thwart me, but taking over the volume control is just going too far. These assholes would probably shut down the computer and force a reboot if they could get away with it.
Imagetwist is a lot more prevalent on the sister site than here, but still I'd like to warn VEF'ers about it. For its impudence, Imagetwist deserves to be shunned until it whimpers out of existence.
