They are all cruel and heartless.
They're adding insult to injury by treating this tragedy as a good thing.

I remember that one year ago I was searching for "American Dad Online" and a site asked me to fill a survey to be able to watch the video(of course I didn't ..) and usually all the pop-ups looks like the above one..... LAME!

Some survey sites told that you need to turn off your adblock so that you will answer those surveys.
