"They" could do that, but I doubt they will.  This would expose their web 
page structure to unbelieveable tortures from DoS, Massive downloadings 
from redirectors across the planet, straight out hacking into webpages, 
databases, company records, etc.

Piss off the wrong group of people and they can just kiss that server 
good bye, if you get my drift......all without selling anything anywhere 
near worth the damages that "wrong group" would inflict.

It's not worth their time and money to spam you that way.  They've 
already taken over the webpages noone, of consequence, cares anything 
about.

Just add webpages to TV, Radio, Newspapers and Magazines on the huge pile 
of excrement at the spam dump.  Why anyone would actually PAY for a new 
TV, then PAY someone to deliver electronic excrement to paste up on its 
screen still amazes me.

It all started way back when they discovered idiot Americans would 
actually listen and buy things off the radio.  Pretty much has been 
downhill since the mid 1920's.
