There are few things more annoying than pop-up ads. And there are even fewer things more annoying than a pop-up ad that circumvents pop-up blocking software. But AdFreak has found a company that’s creating just that. It’s the Specific POP Network, and it’s making us very, very mad.

If we really wanted any more lousy pop-ups, do you think we would have been the first on our block to install the Google 2.0 toolbar months ago? (As far as we can tell, Google was the first tool to effectively block pop-ups, and for that we are profoundly grateful and hope the company’s stock goes to $10,000 a share, even though we don’t own any.)

But back to the Specific POP Network.
