Hey,
Well I was just browsing on my Mac then suddenly my Mac yelled "SAY something!" I have no idea what did this. i recognized the voice from like the Simpsons or something and am really freaked out by it

I just recently figured out why my computer was howling at 9:16pm every day (Because of Flappy the widget) because I found it on google. This one I can't find. I haven't installed any new apps so I have no idea what it is.

The only thing I could POSSIBLY think of was that it was Adium... I'm using the Wii Sounds, but it's not in the sound package.

Anyone had this or have any idea?

It's one of the many banner ads you find on web pages. If you hover over them, they yell at you. Highly annoying.

You said you were browsing when it happened. Were you or not?

Hurrmmm now that I think about it... perhaps I did have a browser open. That does make a lot of sense...

If you are using Firefox, you should get the Ad Blocker extension. That will block most of those out.

Or if you have Camino the ad blocking functionality is built in.

yeah this particular ad is for the 'fancy smilies' of smileycentral. i run into it a lot on myspace and sometimes it scares the crap out of me.

this may refresh your memory...and its pretty funny.
