Never have I done anything like this before but I just clicked a banner that said if I could hit a duck I would win a playstation 2. I called this stupid things bluff and tried to go and claim my ps2.. I went through so so so many screens that I cant even remember how many. I had to put in my email address a bunch of times, I didnt use mine though.. I am not crazy. I cant believe how many things it wanted me to go through. Then, eventually the "free" began having a " * " after it.. I knew it was getting more bogus as I went though. As I reached the end it wanted me to sign up for 2 credit cards or something. I had to call it quits after about 30 minutes of completing surveys and filling out forms. :p

Basically the whole internet is either porn or spam.. There might be 2 or 3 useful sites out there including this one and ebay.
