What are some links you’ve accidentally clicked that the instant the page began to load you wanted to rip the power cord out of the wall to stop it? This is especially embarrassing at work. Just try explaining to your boss that it was a mistake when "Miss Lola’s Room of Delectable Enchantments" is flashing naughty photos of unclad females in provocative, air-brushed poses on your work station monitor. Mistake. Riiight.
But not all accidental clicks happen at work. One night my sister, who was visiting our mom, came over to check her email. She accidentally clicked a banner ad in her webmail program. "Check this out," she said, calling me over.
It was one of those sites heavily into Flash video. A theatrical curtain parted on screen. A zither started playing a haunting middle-eastern melody. A mysterious voice said, "Welcome to the Magicke Emporium. From magick talismans to magick amulets & charms, to magick spells & rituals, we’ve got it all." And they did. This place did some serious business! Talk about a niche market…
