Installment #52 - Funny Pictures and/or Cartoons

Things haven't been as stress-free for me lately as I would like them to be, so tonight I felt the need for something funny. But, you know me - I had to check out my intended destinations before visiting!

I checked out 15 of the web sites in my Google results - good grief - it's a cotton-pickin' shame that people can't even get a laugh online without some butthead trying to invade our cyber-space!

Of the 15, only 4 were "good-to-go" - 9 are "iffy" by using third party tracking cookies excessively (remember: 3p's don't harm your PC; they just slow you down) and going a little overboard with pop ups. However, 2 of the websites were extremely dangerous and definitely OFF LIMITS!

Here are my findings:

BAD:

• killsometime.com
• monsterhumor.com

GOOD:

• visualjokes.com
• humordepartment.com
• evlad.com
• funfluster.com

OK, but Pop ups:

• veryfunnypics.com
• jokefrog.com
• halfthedeck.com
• coolfunnies.com
• jokesnjokes.net
• allfunnypictures.com
• funny-city.com
• heysko.com
• funnycollection.org

***IMPORTANT NOTE OF ADVICE***

With a good browser, proper security programs in place, and a strong pop up blocker surfing the Internet can be one of the best experiences of your life. I highly recommend you take a minute and check out these three links, especially the second one. They are easy-to-read and understand and the smart thing to do!

Everyone likes to laugh, especially me. I looked for free cartoons the other day and found, of the 20 sites I checked out, only 4 were not considered safe. Not bad! Maybe there's hope for us yet!

We have to realize that, when web sites first start up, they don't have the traffic, the popularity yet, so they haven't yet been bombarded with advertisers' approaches. As time goes on, and the bills accumulate, and the web site starts needing funds to continue, web sites often fall victim to the need for the "click" income and savvy advertising companies talk them into a fool-proof way to get "easy" income. As we now know, these unscrupulous companies dump tons of malware and the like on us through these web sites that we have been visiting and have become fond of.

It's crucial that you double check web sites you have been using, with no problems, again with Siteadvisor, Websites to Avoid, and other preventative sites like these.
