Ever see web ads like this◊? They're done by a company called Newsmax, which is known for...

  • being right-wing (and often collaborating with other right-wing groups)
  • its simple visual style (get Anonus ASAP, lol) and most importantly...
  • its hilariously obnoxious push-polling.

Let's mock!
