A Short Story of Popups and Doomsday

Hmmm... What's this? A strange web page just "popped" up and is saying "Your computer is broadcasting an IP adress!" Dear lord, really? I'll have to put a stop to this. "Click here to install 'Spyware Destroyer 2000' that will stop all spyware from invading your computer and slaughtering your children".

*click

"Bwahahahaha! You have just sealed your DOOM! We will now install VirusBot version 3, which is one version newer than 2, and also has a lot more hairy tentacles! Your PC will wither and die, but not before it infects you and causes you to start licking railway tracks with a vengeance."

Oh noes. *clickclickclickclick!!CLICK!

*computer starts to rumble

*computer sprouts limbs, sets monitor atop itself, as a head.

*monster flicks aside hapless user, and ravages the office

*spyware-infected-PC-cum-evil-minion-of-hell goes on to burn the user's fields, and to hear the lamentations of it's women.

*whole cities destroyed

*monster explodes after touching a copy of Cyberlink PowerDVD 5. God that sucks.

*everyone retreats to underground nuclear fallout shelters.

---20 years pass---

*popup of a cat in an everyday situation, but _captioned_

*a man slowly creeps out of shelter

*looks around

"woo! lol All's cleer!"

*man is hailed as hero of the times, is awarded newly instituted "Nuclear Fallout Shelter Lookout Of The Year" award.

*man slowly fades from public eye

So children, stay away from popups. And do not click on anything on the internet. Just stare at whatever page it throws at you when you open up your browser. It'll make my life much easier and I won't get so many annoying calls asking for help with PC's.
