Bug me, not.
A lot of sites on the Internet require you to fill out ridiculous registration questionnaires before being allowed to read the (free) site. If this annoys you, you can waste time filling out the form with fake information and agree to receive a ton of spam by giving them a valid email address, or you could use Bug Me Not to retrieve login/password combinations to allow you to read registration-required sites. This is very cool.
Even cooler is Bug Me Not's own registration form, legally required to be filled out by representatives of media companies before using Bug Me Not. Be sure to scroll down and read the whole form, and check out the various pop-up menues.
As a side note this reminds me of an online application for for a frequent flier program some airline has a couple years back which forced you to pick a salutation for your name. The list included the usual Mr., Mrs., Ms., and Doctor, but it also has about 40 other choices, including Dean, Commodore, Bishop, General, Imam, Princess, and Admiral!
(alas, after 20 minutes of Googling I couldn't find this site now)
