On May 29th, 2022, Vinesauce Joel made a video about those NFTS. Since these are incredibly cheap, you don't have to cry because you spent a single shekel on a picture of a purple gorilla. Around February 2022, Joe Bonzi and Jay Bonzi resurfaced to shit out a new Bonzi Buddy NFT project. You can visit it, but why would you?Īnd you were there thinking BonziBUDDY died off at last.
The original website died from AIDS, but there are a million aspie revivals of the site. The site's very aspergic and underage community is the sole reason for the site's fail, and you should never use it on the daily basis as it's been scientifically proven that doing so will make you irreversibly turn into Chris-chan. BonziWORLD is a reeking pile of garbage of a chatting website that's primarily used by 9-year-old GoFags and iPad toddlers for gay sex roleplays with other retards on the site. Possibly the worst reincarnation of this shitty meme monkey and a mediocre skid's favorite place to spam shitty exploits to show off their 1337 hXER skillz. It should also be noted that Bonzi Buddy was straight up impossible to remove from your computer once installed, which meant you were pretty much stuck with the fucker until he started getting picked up by anti-spyware programs.ĭid I mention that Bonzi Buddy is spyware? Though it's more likely that Bonzi Buddy sucked due to all of the programs extra baggage. The makers of the monkey claimed that all of Bonzi Buddy's shortcomings were due to the fact that the free version had limited functionality and that users needed to buy the full version to get the program that actually worked. Simple tasks like searching your computer or sending an email through Bonzi Buddy would take forever and none of the jokes or facts that crapped out of his mouth were either funny or interesting. Not only did effectively rape your computer with its arsenal of spyware, but none of its tools actually functioned. “This gives interactive advertisers something to think about, to look at their advertisements on the Internet and make sure their aggressive advertisements don’t look like something else.While the thought of giving your computer a personality with Bonzi Buddy seems like a pretty cool idea at first glance, the coolness goes right out the window when it installs six new search bars on your browser without asking. The success of a civil plaintiff might encourage other lawsuits and it also might encourage state attorneys general to look into the practice, he said. companies are going to think twice about it,” Lazar said. Lazar, of the Seyfarth Shaw law firm in Chicago. It might, said Internet law expert Bart A. He wouldn’t name those companies, but he said he hoped the settlement had “a sobering effect” on other firms. And three other companies are likely lawsuit targets, Scott said. Lukins & Annis has already filed a similar lawsuit against another advertiser, eAcceleration Software, alleging similar practices. In total, the filing claimed, Bonzi had blanketed the Internet with 300 million banner ads - and at one time, Bonzi was the third-most visited software company Web site in the world, behind only Microsoft and Netscape. And the lawsuit alleged that Bonzi is behind several massive Internet marketing campaigns, including one that placed 37 million banner ads during a single week in 2001. SIMILAR LAWSUITS IN THE OFFING Bonzi’s purple ape may seem just an Internet curiosity, but the company was at one time a Web powerhouse.
Under the settlement terms, provided by Scott, Bonzi agreed to a list of changes in its advertising practices:
It also claimed that to get more functions or new module, you have to pay for that. takes great pride in its Internet products and strives to maintain high standards in all of its business practices.” Bonzi Buddy application was promoted/described itself as free application and claims free version of this application exhibited sample and demos only. believes that it never violated any law with regards to its advertising practices and simply settled to avoid the high cost of litigation,” Bonzi attorney Sara Rizzo said through e-mail. While Bonzi agreed in the settlement to stop using “fake user interfaces” in its advertising, the company maintains it did not engage in illegal advertising. Carstens, an attorney in the same law firm, volunteered to serve as the initial plaintiff in the case after a frustrating 20-minute bout with a Bonzi banner ad, Scott said. Some of those banner ads - which often looked like Windows dialogue boxes - were deceptive, said attorney Darrell Scott of the Washington state firm Lukins & Annis, which brought the suit against Bonzi last November and was seeking class-action status.
