weird, they're gone now. i think it was on my home computer.
iphone, romney and something else was underlined, and when i mouse over, it put up an ad.
i did try downloading some weird stuff the other day to download a simpsons episode off some site (used it for my sermon), but it didn't work (and i didn't get the episode). i uninstalled it right away, but maybe that had something to do with it?
i'll check when i get home.

yeah, i'm thinking that's what it is, because when i was hovering over pictures, there was a box that said "more like this". i never seen that before.
just a tip, never download the "player" from "watch simpsons online" or something like that, even if the player promises that you can download full episodes.

no, it's chrome, and it was an extension. click n save or something. i already trashed it.
not sure how it got there, it must have been when i tried to install that player/downloader from that simpsons site.
