Idiots and adverts

What is it with these auto redirecting adverts? I'll just be browsing a website, definitely innocently, and then find myself in the App Store. It makes me have some doubts as to the sanity of the developers, to be perfectly honest, when they think that will work. I amuse myself to think how that proposal went down at a committee meeting.
Idiot 1: You know what will really make people want to download our app?
Idiot 2: What?
Idiot 1: We could offer them a brilliant game with depth and graphics and blood and awesome.
Idiot 2: Don't be stupid, that'll never work.
Idiot 1: Yeah, I guess you're right.
Idiot 3: I have an idea
Idiot 2: Hmm?
Idiot 3: Why don't we force them to go to our download page like an overeager prositute jumping into a normal conversation and shouting f*** me?
Idiot 2: Brilliant! You're promoted. Idiot 1, you're fired.

  2. Yes, but I think we can agree that these people are mentally unsound. Perhaps just check them into a mental hospital and leave more mentally sound people in charge at the companies.

  3. Which reminds me of that meme where they throw the guy with the right idea through the window
