Pop-up Blocker = theft?

This article is a little old, but I got a laugh out of it. Check this out:

Anti-leech.com are offering to protect your site from browsers blocking pop-ups (or ‘theft tools’ as they call them) - just try stealing from them with your favourite pop-up free browser.

We have determined that you use pop up blocking software. This site is provided for free and depend on an income from these pop up ads. By blocking them, you make it impossible for us to continue keeping this website online for free. Therefore, you will not be able to access this website again until you uninstall or de-activate your pop up blocking software.

Close your browser window, uninstall your pop up blocker and come back here to visit us.

How ridiculous was that?
