Now, that's just nasty.

I take song lyrics pretty seriously.  In fact, I spend several hours a week perusing (the real definition) through them on sites I find on the internet.  The really good ones will have a link to a player, that way you can read the words along with the audio.

But there's one site in particular which really pisses me off.  The second the page loads, another player automatically pops up and my ears are filled with the irritating distraction of a commercial.  The particular advertisement I am forced to endure until I can scroll down to find the mute button?  Dannon's Activia brand of yogurt.

When I look up a song, I'm in a particular state of mind and I want to savor it as long as possible.  Hearing about a cup containing the bacterial fermentation of milk which is miraculously able to keep Jamie Lee Curtis regular ruins the whole experience for me.

Seriously, Jamie, first Beverly Hills Chihuahua and now this?  You were in Halloween, for Christ's sake.  Show some goddamned self respect.
