How to permanently block all online ads

Look, we get it.

The Internet is free, right? You have to pay to be online, but once you’re there – the millions of pages of information out there should be yours for the viewing, without being blocked by persistently annoying advertising invading your viewspace.

Web Watch is in a quandray over this – we’re supported by advertising on the site, so why would we want to share with you one simple, easy way to completely block all ads from ever appearing on your computer or WiFi-enabled devices ever again? If this idea takes off, we’ll have to switch to a subscription-based model – but we’d rather not go that route if we can help it.

Are you like most people?

You get out of bed, slip on your running outfit (with nighttime reflectors, of course), and head out for an early-morning 5 mile run to shake out the cobwebs before you head home to shower and get ready for work?

If so, then you’re doing it wrong.

Tisha UnArmed is a woman in her 20’s who was born without arms, and with one leg slightly shorter than her left.

And nothing has prevented her from doing anything that she sets her mind out to do (to the point where her Internet infamy led to an appearance on TV with Tosh!).

The CDC claims that 1.7 million people become infected while at a hospital, but according to RID: The Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths, the actual number of infections at hospitals each year is much, much higher.

On average, a patient DIES AT A HOSPITAL due to a hospital-related infection every six minutes. RID says it’s at least 103,000 (preventable?) deaths a year, causing up to $30 billion in hospital costs.

It’s the fourth leading cause of death, with heart disease, cancer, and strokes taking the top three spots.

Want to make more money? Don’t ask your overly-fertile boss for a raise if you’re pretty

Men – are you more comfortable or less comfortable working for a female boss?

Women, same question to you: do you prefer working for a male boss or a female boss?

Maybe it doesn’t really matter whether the person you’re working for is a man or a woman — but if your boss is a woman, you may want to hold off asking for that raise if your boss is pregnant.

Web Watch knows that to succeed at work, it’s not always who you know – but rather who knows you.

In other words, you may not know the Big Boss in your organization… but you can certainly get ahead if the Big Boss knows who you are. They’re the ones who will look out for you in the long run, especially if you’re known as someone who can get things done for them.

Legal advice for TV shows

How many times have you sat down to watch a TV show and say to yourself, “These people are idiots – even I know that [fill in the blank] will never work!”

Web Watch sees this all the time, where some character goes on and on about some topic that Web Watch happens to know everything about, and the writers just get it all wrong!

We get it – TV is meant to be entertainment, but sometimes some basic research can make the script just that much more believable to those of us at home who actually do know what we’re talking about.
