I just got a google ad for the snackpit, something about retards. 😕 ---

What’s _the snackpit_ ? Sounds like a crap restaurant (but if it was, you’d see it at the Watford Gap Travel Services) ---

It’s an anonymous messageboard where people go to mock the SDMB and affiliated messageboards. The tagline in the ad is “Mommy wants you to point and laugh at the tards.” ---

It’s another message board devoted to pointing-and-laughing at the members of this board. Including sarcasm, lies, and downright disgusting comments. Next in this roundabout discussion is pointing out how “they think we’re retarded, but they spend all their time making fun of us, how really reatarded is that?” Now someone thought it would be funny to purchase an ad on Google to be displayed here. The joke being that it is supposedly a big rules violation to talk about what people are saying over there. ---

I think the idea may have come from the fact that another board legitimately started a Google ad, and it happened to show up on the SDMB. Unlike that board, the Snackpit has no legitimate purpose to advertise, since it only covers the SDMB and boards started by SDMB members. As for me, I don’t see no stinkin’ ads 😛 ---

There’s ads for Scientology, how to cheat on term papers, fake diets, malware ads, ads that play loud music and all kinds of anti-ignorance fighting (lulz) things, but Giraffe Board ads and Snackpit ads are the things Tuba wants screenshots for? Seriously? ---

I know. “We can’t do anything about it” is the standard response about the more intrusive or malicious ads, but when GB and the snarkers place ads for the lulz, it looks like they’ll suddenly realize “oh yeah, we can block ads from certain advertisers in the Adsense control panel.” Sorry, Tuba, but I gotta’ ask … what makes the ads from GB and the Snackpit worse than the audible or malicious ads? ---
