The current ads, here on the board and elsewhere around the internets that I visit, seem to be dominated by AMERICAN PARASITE FOUND!! and celebrity RACK quizzes. Oh, occasionally celebrities’ big BALLOONS as well. Seriously, does anything even marginally legitimate advertise on the internet? It’s like a TV channel where all the ads are for infomercial-style products, payday lenders and plasma “donation” places. o.O ---

I’m still getting “Ellen lied to her fans.” Sigh. I want to know about the parasite. I even want to know Ellen did. But there’s no way I’m clicking. And, I realize, it’s all hype. So, has anyone clicked? Do you know?
