WTF is up with the John McCain google ad?? |
|
Edited on Sat Aug-05-06 11:16 AM by WildEyedLiberal
Does anyone else throw up in their mouth a little bit when the "Join John McCain's Straight Talk America" ad banner gushes across the top of the screeen? :puke: :puke: :puke:
Admins: can you do anything about it, like reject that ad specifically? I know I have the option of turning off google ads, but I'd prefer not to as every now and then I see an ad I want to click on, plus it helps make DU money. I know I am getting sick of seeing the decidedly NON-progressive McCain's smarmy face every time I come into GD, though. Gag.

I totally agree... That ad, plus |
|
all the goddammed religious ads are getting oppressive. AT first I coldn't imagine taking the tiime to block out the ads, but I'm seriously considering it now.

3. I don't even see WHY McCain pops up |
|
It's not like GD is slathered in McCain posts and his name is triggering some kind of instant response.
No, I imagine the google adsters just thought "oh, this is a political board... politics = McCain... who DOESN'T love McCain????"
:puke: again

1. You have the ability to turn off your ads entirely |

2. I know, I addressed that in the OP |
|
There have been a few google ads that actually piqued my interest, and most seem to be relevant to a liberal discussion board. Plus I figure that if it makes DU a few bucks, why not?
But I probably will turn them off if I keep having to look at McCain's self-worshipping banner ad.

4. Haven't seen the ad but can't imagine I'd care. |
|
I find the Google machine pretty entertaining especially the way it seems to latch onto key words in a post and can pop up an ad with similiar tags. For instance, I saw a post where someone was berating Israeli policy and below was the Google ad for cheap airline tickets to Israel. Not a perfect ad campaign but very ambitious!
