Hey All,
You may have seen the "Are you going to burn in hell? Yes/No" ads at the bottom of some threads. Looks like a fun little thing, doesn't it? Click it, and you'll find yourself taking a short, well-laid-out quiz. The interface is marvelous, I was very impressed.
After 10-15 questions, it said, "While you're waiting for your results" -- because of course it takes TIME to answer such an important question as one's eternal destiny -- "please look at these sponsor's offers". They list a ton (20-30) of sponsors that you are expected to answer Yes or No to about your interest in seeing their sites. While it is labeled as voluntary, if you select No on all of them, it prompts you, "You must select at least one of these great offers" or something on that line.
Fine. You pick one.
Then it prompts you for some personal info. You're signing up for something! So being the god-fearing, law-abiding netizen that I am, I entered a bunch of fake info. Nope, we're smarter than that. Try again. So I tried slightly less fake data. Yes, that passed. Sweet! I finally get to find out if I'm hell-bound or not!
Nope, not yet. The same list came back up. I began to think it must be a ruse -- there really IS no answer. They'll just slap me with ad after ad until I give up. Well, I was almost right. By this time, it was a challenge. I decided to just click and click and click and see what happened. "Skip", "Skip", "No thanks", "Pass", "I stupidly refuse this great offer", etc.
Eventually -- many, many clicks later -- I was told I'm 34% likely to wind up in hell. Clearly the d*mn quiz doesn't even work, since I've been in hell all this week and it didn't even notice!
Word to the wise from the not-as-wise -- don't bother with the hell quiz! (Or any quiz bearing the "World of Quizzes" logo, would be my advice)
