Being an American Websurfer in London Sucks!

Hello. Currently in London. Oh, by the way, every time I try to watch a video, I get the following messages. WTF, it’s not like I’m in a cave in Afghanistan. I’m in goddamn England! It must suck being here — half the sites I visit, I can’t access the content. Thanks for ruining the WWW, you evil corporations. (And that was suppose to stand for WORLD wide web.)

Instead, through IP lookups and cookies, I get wonderful localized ad banners that make no frakin sense… Like the following banner ad when I visit Buzz Newsroom:

Lastly, my “nice” hotel doesn’t even have Wi-Fi. Guess what, I’m charged .50 pounds PER MINUTE to use the Internet. That’s going to cost me what, in currency exchange, $75 to write this post?! Crap… And this is what I see when I log into Facebook. Maybe I’ll just drown my sorrows. Cheers!
