while having some fun. I wonder how the following terms will affect the google-ad engine: You goat-felching, llama-raping, wombat-fondling, skunk-ass-licking google ads! ---

The Google ads are fuckin bullshit. Generally the idea of paying for membership on a site is so that you don’t get fucking spammed with ‘please click here and buy some stupid fucking product that you don’t really want and weren’t interested in because if you were you would’ve found it without the motherfucking piece of shit cuntrot of a damn ad being shoved in your face.’ Gah. The only downer is that Adblock doesn’t remove that stupid ‘Sponsored Link’ line. ---

I’m pissed off as to how this is helping spammers. Who else would want to buy mailing lists. So Google is just enabling spammers through their choice of which companies they allow to advertise. That is very uncool of Google. (and yes I have sent a complaint about this to Google, whatever good that might do) ---

This is like having to watch commercials on HBO. If that happened …well….I guess I would still watch HBO, but I would not be as happy about it. ---

Agree on both counts. I mean, what the fuck is this? No site shows ads to subscribers. That’s so fucking stupid. Especially since the maybe one accidental ad click they’ll get per subscriber per year could be made up for with a 3-cent increase in price. This is so fucking moronic. What the fuck kind of idiots are the people who decided this? ---

Hey, if you don’t mind all the text on the right side of the screen, then choose a different style in quickstyle drop down box adds only appear if the gamma version is selected. ---

The veins in my neck are lying low at the moment, but I’m goint to do a little experiment. I’m going to open a brand spanking new email address and tie it to my profile. If I see one piece of spam hit that box that could’ve come as a result of something I posted here…I imagine those veins will be poppin like a motherfuck. ---

Oh, and I hope the crack business people who work at The Chicago R_ee_der negotiated a better rate for putting the ads above the reply box as opposed to at the bottom of the page. ---

I’m just pissed that I got rejected by google when I attempted to get ads on _my_ forum because there was too much profanity. How the fuck did the Pit pass the test? ---

> [@Garfield226](#): > > Google adwords doesn’t spam . . . Not that I’m and cynical skeptic, but it’ll be interesting to see. Based on the 3 whorehouses advertising in the banner below - my comfort level isn’t exactly up at a 100% rate ---

Just wait until a fuckin swear word filter has to be put in place by the stupid cunts who think that slamming advertising in the face of the paying membership is a good idea because goddamn google doesn’t want to put ads on a site with too much fuckin swearing.
