Banners with sound

I think most of you experienced these horrible internet banners. And if you didn't, you're a very lucky person.

Just imagine yourself browsing on some websites, and then all of the sudden you hear loud music and/or sound effects coming from nowhere. High chances are that there is an advertisement somewhere with auto-playing sound on the page you're currently checking out.
For some reason people thought it was a good idea to keep the sound of these banners toggled on, meaning that while you watch a clip, write a comment, look at a picture or are just listening to your own music, you suddenly hear this loud noise, ruining whatever you were doing at that moment.

For websites that host copyrighted movies and TV shows, I can understand, but even regular sites have this problem. Deviantart, for instance.
I don't think sites like these should even have this kind of advertisement, next to the fact I think internet banners should shut up altogether.

Products that should be free, but aren't

I think that every household should get at least one loaf of bread free every week; it's not like it's a forbidden luxury, people simply need to eat, so it might as well be bread.
Nothing fancy, but it shouldn't have to be.

I think that every newborn baby should get free diapers; obviously babies can't use the toilet and the prices they ask for diapers are just sad. Babies can't help what they do, they are babies for a reason. Give mothers free diapers so they can actually buy their child something nice, or actual food for themselves. Or while you're at it, give them some Goddamn bread.

I think that every woman should either get free sanitary napkins or the pil; you're basically punishing them for being female by making them pay for either one. The female body cannot be controlled, it's not like it's their choice to bleed all over the floor. Either help them stop it, otherwise save their underwear.


These are the products that should be free, but aren't. Considering how they depend on issues that can't be helped, it's absolutely disgusting people ask money for it.
