LJ's latest outrage: Snap.com

Guys, you'd better check this out. LJ has found a new way to spam our accounts. Now, when people hover over a link on your journal -- say, for instance, your "I've moved to InsaneJournal!" link -- LJ is having Snap.com generate a pop-up image to suck up bandwidth and add spyware to people's computers and God knows what else.

I really wasn't looking forward to going through all of my inactive accounts to deactivate that crap, but now I'm going to have to. Any chance LJ ever had of wooing me back? Just got totally flushed. This is the most obnoxious thing yet!

Here's the discussion that alerted me.

I just had to icon the fail limbo bit, but it's a bit... adult (though censored) so I'm going to be chicken and text link it. It's here.

Free for the snagging for anyone with the proper amount of brazen to use it. :D
