Chris told the Greenwich Time And Stamford Advocate what he thought of their annoying CANCER pop ups.
Quote:"Ironically, under the giant white pop-up reads ‘Tell us what you think of our new design’. In the survey, I described it as malignant"

Stamford Advocate Website Replaces Icon With Giant Cancer
Posted by Chris
On Monday I gave the Stamford Advocate, Norwalk Advocate (which according to my count is one too many Advocates), and Greenwich Time (a mean pun that results in millions of frustrating Google results for Britains bi-annually) a hard time about never replacing the original Sun icon which came with their webservers.Well, they didn’t take that laying down. Not only have they removed the offending icon, but they have given their sites a facelift as well, replacing their boring old white-text-on-color banners with exciting new white-text-on-GRADIENT-color banners.
(I think someone got Photo-shop for Christmas!)
