What the fuck is going on with these ads on the SDMB?

Yeah but everybody knows black people go to Popeyes, not KFC. (at least according to the counter guy at Popeyes, ;))

Damn skippy. Unless you’re broke, then you have to go to Church’s. It’s probably better just to starve.

These ads are freaking annoying!
What were they thinking here? It’s like, “Yeah, ‘pictures’ doesn’t need an apostrophe, but ‘video’ is a pretty weird word, so we better use an apostrophe when we pluralize it. ‘videos’ without the apostrophe would just be too much of a mindfuck.” :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

An apostrophe meaning, “Look out! Here comes an s.”

I’m just amazed someone remembered that thread, since it died pretty quickly.

I’m so sick of these threads about vanity phone numbers and harassing phone calls.

But the one at the bottom of the thread as I type this offers the ability to make your ads 14x better!

Weirdly specific number choice, isn’t it?

I use FireFox, so I haven’t seen these ads at all.

Why do people spend their time complaining about this, instead of doing something about it? (Like switching to a browser that blocks the ads automatically.)
