So, we all get those obnixious ads on both NS and the forums that try to appeal to our supposed genre and entice us to play their games based on the keywords in which we post. I figured we can make some humor out of it by posting the most ridiculous ads we have received and why they are ridiculous!

Case in point, I am getting War 2 ads on NS that depict helpless women in barely any clothing being manhandled as the prizes of war. Because the implication of raping a woman is definitely going to get me, a woman, to play that game.

:lol:

Using NoScript with FF prevents me from seeing any of them. Think I’m relieved!

I use Adblock Plus for Firefox, so I don’t see the ads… I kind of feel like I’m missing out now. 😛

I am proud to announce that I collect each and every ad that sneaked into my e-mail, starting from 10 years ago. As of now, I have a total of 825,421 useless messages, with 11,688 of them still unread. That summed up to an average of 6878 spum messages a year. I’m going for a million hit. Then I’ll hunt each and every fool who sent them to me, ‘misplace’ off their heads and be the modern-day Vlad the Impaler.

Awww, don’t worry. There’s a large possibility that the only thing I’d do once hitting the million limit is to just sulk in the corner of the room and curse my fate.

Related: at one point, instead of going via Google’s I’m Feeling Lucky function, any lone keywords placed into my URL field would take me to a Chinese bridal service.

Also, does anybody remember this little jab at other ads of its kind?

Evidently I am looking for a date and miserably failing because I am a Geek. So how do you get me to to be interested? Try showing me an ad of a nearly retarded looking guy that is supposed to be attractive to me because clearly that is the image of a Geek and the Geek I am trying to find to date. This site sold me! _frantically clicks on it because I am too interested to wait for it load_

:lol:
