Snarkfest Ads

Oh, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

The Literary and Multimedia forum has a banner ad that says "WATCH GILMORE GIRLS ON THE WB!" I hate to break it to you, but neither of those things are around any more.

I don't know which thread is inspiring the "Fiddler On the Roof Ringtones" ad in the Music forum, but it's oddly amusing.

I was in my PMs and shopping.yahoo.com was offering to help me find good prices on cuntlickers.

...WHAT?!? Why is that there? Also, I didn't know they could advertise like that without the police catching on. Do they make house calls?

For awhile my workplace kept popping up. Like, my specific department. Almost as a reminder that maybe instead of flitting though Snarkfest, I should be working instead. Thankfully that's stopped.

I just realized the dating banner ad I've been getting quite a bit is plenty-of-fish and not plenty-offish, which I know makes no sense but since I already get the gay chubbys and the BBW ads, I assumed it was a dating site for fetishists.

Every time I see the "Find your ticket" ad I do a double take thinking the highway patrolman is John Goodman.

So I'm curious if you single folks here are rushing out to sign up with Markus on Plentyoffish.com.

Whoops.

Celeb Dreams just had a banner for Michael Jackson's latest tour. Viagogo* is on there too as "Official Partner", but of course I read it wrong as Viagra.


*what is this entity? I've never heard of them.

OMG. In the Literary & Multimedia section there's an ad to win a copy of Twilight if you bite Edward Cullen with a set of tiny little fangs. Uh, what? He's already a vampire; biting him isn't going to turn him into a megavampire, is it?

Why is almost every page giving me ads featuring women making out for IMVU?

"Hey, folks, now you can cyber with a complete stranger with your favorite fug avatar instead of just having to type everything."

*shudder*

Is anyone else getting the "Are you being exploited" banner ads with the barking dog noise? It makes me jump out of my skin.

On this very thread, the banner ad for a site called twocan.com says "HERPES?" in big letters, then "The difficulty of dating ends here." Now, I'm guessing it's actually a dating site fore people with herpes (and how weirdly specific a market is that?), but the way it's set up and worded, it makes it sound like a gloomy pronouncement on the awfulness of dating. Like, dating is a difficult thing that's just going to end in herpes. Heh.

Mental Floss (I think) did a post on niche dating web sites a while back and they said of all the sites they visited (Jewish dating, goth dating, Christian dating), the Herpes dating web site had the hottest people, hands down, in all of Internet-datingdom. Which makes sense, I guess.

Is anyone else getting the Pangya ad? The picture is of a black dragon and the avatars are little goths but the text is to join the world's largest online GOLF community.

I now have the mental image of Phil Mickelson in heavy eyeliner and a dog collar.

*shudder*

Lefty is one of my favorite golfers, but... just no.

I keep getting an ad telling me that if I click there, I'll learn how to lose 3lbs off my fat belly. This ad is also following me around other sites.
Fuck you, Google! My belly isn't fat, it's muscle that hasn't tightened since surgery!! And stop calling me fat. It makes me want to cry. And eat more food.

That damn ad is everywhere. Plus the teeth whitening one.

AdBlock is your friend. I've just discovered it and I love it.

I have a THING about the teeth-whitening ads that are everywhere. A thing that causes me to fill with rage when I see them. I'm not even sure why. Something about the sigh of teeth over and over again makes me want to kill.

Anyway, I too have finally given into AdBlock and it's the best thing ever. My blood pressure is seriously lower. I've had FlashBlock for years, but AdBlock is my new best friend.

I also hate any ad that begins "A mom found a way to __________ for a few dollars at home." GAAAAAAGGHHHH. I think it's just because they're EVERYWHERE. Or any ad that has my town in it. GRRRRRR.

Again, the rage. Really not sure why.

I second, third and fourth this.

I had adblock and then it seemed to disappear on me a while back. I should really go upload it. Some ads just seem to literally explode into sound when the mouse goes near them and I've scared myself and set the dogs off barking a couple of times. Not condusive to a relaxed household!

ETA: Just downloaded it and they're gone!! They're absolutely gone!! No longer will I be taunted over the last 3lbs or how white my teeth aren't! Hurray!

I don't know about you, but if I'm going to use an astrologer, I want one who has "Professional" as part of her name. You can't possibly go wrong.

Edit: Heeee, when I previewed this post, I got that ad again. Aww. She looks like a nice lady, anyway.
