This sounds like a special case I've only seen twice before: a rare allergic reaction to shady business dealings and corrupt practices, spread virally through remote contact with inferior forms of entertainment. Usually, the practitioners are politicians and they seem either immune or too stupid to recognize they are the cause of the reaction, but they just don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. While there's little medical science can offer to cure us of these politicans, there is a solution when you get the reaction from non-politicans. However, it means staying away from (or getting yourself banned to prevent accidental or intentional access) from the carriers of this obnoxious disease to really isolate yourself.
Personally, I prefer Expedia, but use whatever alternatvie remedy you feel will work well. I once thought about trying a service I heard about on another information board, but with a name that is a rip-off of other sites on the Web I did a little digging and found out they were deceptive in their business practices and immune to criticism. They also had no sense of humour, which indicates low intelligence to go with low morals.
Best solution is to avoid the source as much as you can so you don't get contaminated. We doctors call that the "icky" feeling, but that may be too technical for most laypeople.
