6of1_halfdozenofother Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 So, I know why there are advertisements on this site, and I know one of the site rules on the old site is "no advertising/selling" - but since this site isn't carrying forward that rule, and because some of these advertisements are actually quite comical, I figured I'd start a thread here to provide a safe space to discuss some of these ads - whether it be about (dark) humour, efficacy of the ad/product, or even the philosophy behind the product. Hope the mods agree that this is a topic that is worth of discussion. To kick this off, I saw one that asserted the following (partial screen cap below): No, I'm not at that age yet, but why "feel" superhuman when most people at that age seem to already be superhuman? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6of1_halfdozenofother Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 Gotta love it when this appears at work: It's a good reminder that I shouldn't be surfing here during working hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnstorm Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I’m sick to death of that bcaa insurance advertisement with its stupid singing/song. It played all season last year incessantly and now it’s returned, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure about a yellow truck, it’s a series of people having ridiculous mishaps. Ball player gets whacked in the mouth, tree falls on travel trailer, kitchen fire, deer strike on highway… they all sing merrily through it and finish in one great pathetic chorus line marching through the streets. I’m learning to keep the remote immediately beside my hand so I can mute fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Speaking of singing commercials: I imagine Kars4Kids is a worthwhile charity. But that commercial with the (off-key) singing kids is one that I could do without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckle Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Oh man. I didn't know there were ads! I had an ad blocker enabled. I'll leave it off for the site because views (to my knowledge) is how they generate money to help keep the site alive. Having said that, even with it off I don't see any ads anywhere! Hmm...

6of1_halfdozenofother Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 @Ribs just a personal comment I thought I'd share with you - the in-between threads and in-between posts advertising gets quite annoying after a while.
