Reverse Spoofing?
OK now I've seen it all. I'm just checking the blog for referrers which are a bit high today and I see that I have been cited as a 'sponsor' for a popup. I have no idea how that happened.
Somebody at Fastclick.net has pulled an interesting fast one. Somehow their popup pops up from somewhere and then it redirects the victim to here. So I've got to figure out how they did that.
Obviously you could see how bloggers might be reluctant to undo the spoof, since it attracts traffic to your blog. But I'm not associated with fastclick.net and I don't want to be, despite their being rather clever bastards.
UPDATE:
Nevermind. I actually *am* happy to be associated with fastclick.net because they are part of the conglomerate that hosts my racism test. Thanks to Kyle for discovering this.

I was directed to your site through fastclick after Googling "racist test" and visiting this resulting site: http://selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=raceman There is a hyperlink to your site on that page.
Hope this helps you figure out where the problem lies.
Your blog is interesting and regardless of the way I found it I'm glad I did.
