I can’t speak for **Tuba** , but given that she’s said she doesn’t have control over the ads, my guess was that she was just gathering up data to forward onto to those who do. She may also recommend blocking the site, but she hasn’t yet said anything about that one way or the other. ---

The post above is in no way to be taken as approving of ads in general or any ads specifically; it’s not about my personal feelings in the matter, which don’t count in this anyway. Though sometimes I do wonder what that one simple rule is for whiter teeth. Is it the same one to get a flat belly? ---

I always assumed it was to drink bleach after every meal - whiter teeth, flatter tummy. Clorox[sup]TM[/sup] FTW! ---

> [@Scissorjack](#): > > Keepsakes. Latest Snackpit google ad is “Quick, one of you tards get me a screenshot”. Like she requested in the Giraffe Board thread? You are not suggesting that TubaDiva thinks of the posters here as 'tards, are you? Seriously, why ask for caps of the screens when you have said so often that there is nothing the SDMB can do about ads? Are some ads worse than others? ---
