Dutch Inventor Creates Right Mouse Advertising
Dutch entrepreneur,Johan Struijk, has came up with a revolutionary idea. The use of the right mouse button for advertising purposes.
The idea is simple. When a surfer enters a web site that has RightMouse integrated, the surfer will be redirected to a RightMouse advertiser when he or she uses the right mouse button.
You often see web sites disabling the usage of the right mouse button in an attempt to stop source code thiefs. Now they can do the same but even gain money from it.

thereby insuring I’ll never visit that sight again. When will people learn that trying to trick us into seeing ads is not a good long term idea?

Quite the creative idea, to be sure. But as someone who uses the Back feature of the right-click menu, I’m with Lance, I’ll not likely visit the site again. Of course this kind of rude menu behavior can be fixed by turning off scripting for the offending site.
