"Fur Elise"Sounds like a cat or dog with all that fur. I guess they mean "Für Elise". ;-)

I want some numbers. How many people do buy something after clicking such a link? How many people buy anything after going through a scam link?Who would ever reward someone for tricking them first? If trust in humanity is justified this kind of ad should not work out for the advertiser.Does it really pay off? Does anybody ever break even from putting up such an ad? Or is the one laughing last the ad network

Exactly! This is the most efficient idea since the "I can't send you e-mail" e-mail. ;-)If the client cannot connect to the ticket server, instead of showing an error message it should automatically open a ticket.
So, they are trying to hire a guru. Obviously they didn't worry about an adequate salary because gurus don't need to buy food. We all know that they live on spiritual energy, don't they? ;-)

for a particular nation in Europe (but non-EU which might narrow it down for the geography majors out there)Why would you be so secretive about which country it is? Ah, I see: By telling us straight away you might discriminate against that country? Or against other countries which also do stupid things but suffer from you not mentioning them? Just kidding. ;-)
@Matt Westwood said:
But apparently, that approach violates the anti-discrimination laws in that nation.
Apparently? Or definitely? And who is the authority claiming that it would be a violation of their anti-discrimination laws? A lawyer? Or did you or somebody in your company actually read the text of these laws? In the original language or in a malformed translation?
And will you really be sued by new-born babies, other children or even teenagers because they can't buy car insurance since you (have to) discriminate against people having their age?
That sounds all very unbelievable...

@Snoofle: It seems that the quality of work is still too high at WTF Inc. But hopefully their newest counter-measure will finally fix the tedious problem. It's about time! ;-)
But seriously: To me this looks like a typical disciplining to remediate any latent notion of freedom and instill respect for the powers that be but shouldn't. I once worked for a client who used Windows policies to disable the right-click on files and folders in explorer - and also on the task bar. For security reasons, we were told...
On the other hand, those preferring goto over break might be accused of switchcraft.
@PJH said:
Oh yes, very. Especially when used in (C or C++) switches. Perhaps they're contraindicated as well?Mhm, break is a satanic word to mumble inside a switch block. I (dis-)honestly see the superior beauty of goto in such a case - or even out of such a case, in C/C++. ;-)
