PO Advertisements wtf?

Unread postby ResultsNotTypical » Sun 18 Nov 2007, 12:34:57

I don't mind ads on PO, but Lo and behold, all I'm seeing is Dodge Ram Chassis ads!!! Every single page! It's the ultimate irony.

This reminds me of when those stupid "dancing woman/man/alien" ads appeared on The Housing Bubble Blog.

It just means the site traffic is high enough to attract the major advertier$ is all. Google automatically puts the big boys in to the highest traffic slots.
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

It shouldn't surprise you to learn that Peakoil is a Bilderburg conspiracy. It's true, Alex Jones has seen the papers. Thus, Dodge Ram is official truck of the New World Order. 8O

The people who believe anything Jones has to say, in my opinion are mentally unballanced

But the Bilderberg group is currently planning to replace all of the pop tarts in the world with toaster strudels.

:P

Actually, Alex Jones does have a point on some things (note I did not say many :!: ). On the other hand, it could just be a case of a broken clock being right at least twice a day.

So true, and strudels will use a preservative extracted from the exaust pipes of old Dodge trucks.

Ads? Where?

Oh right, I forgot. Between the Adblock Plus extension in Firefox and the Privoxy daemon running in the backround, I almost never see ads online anymore, not even Google's... 8)

You too? I thought I was seeing 'em because I'm trying to get to the bottom of why mid 90s Dodges have peeling paint.
