Block them PRONTO

Roll out the RedCarpet and let them scrape all they want.... NOT!

We found this little beast bothering us:

BAD_AGENT: 66.45.38.59 [unknown] as "RedCarpet/1.3 (http://www.pronto.com/robots.html)"
On their web site it says:
We use our patent-pending software [crawler] to scour the web [scrape] and identify the most merchant sites and products possible for you.
What a bunch of happy horseshit, web crawlers are now patent-pending software?

Go take a long walk of a short pier and jump into lake go-fuck-yourself.
