Cyphercat- Thank you. I have found that toenail fungus ad to be one of the most obnoxious things that I have ever seen. And it is on TV also, to boot. That damn thing gives me the creepy crawlies!
Funny, the ones that started annoying me were the pretentious ones. They're always at the top of the page. Like: "If your teenager thinks Nureyev is a kind of yoghurt, perhaps it's time for..." - or whatever it was, the point being that if he didnt know who Nureyev was, it was a sign of scandalously lacking basic culture. Another one was on Man Ray, like, "if your child thinks Man Ray is a kind of fish" - or whatever the text went.
Well, I'm sorry, but I dont think any 18-year old should be particularly ashamed of not knowing Nureyev or Man Ray.
<muttering> Pretentious twits.. twa ts... whichever it is...
I've been getting a lot of ads for the United Negro College Fund with a kid that looks like he's got a lit candle in an indentation in his head.
Most disturbing.

Those play on the radio too and are equally annoying... the thing about it is at the end it says "everyone should be able to appreciate Man ray's art, Martha Graham's dance, and some composers music"... like if they didn't say what those people actually did do the listeners might not be able to figure it out either. Very pretentious.

Yes, but when he said he didn't love his teddy, we knew he was a no good kid.

Yeah, that one bugs me, too. Looks like the poor kid's head has been cut off and a little taper iunserted. Disgusting.

Lol!
I'm not correcting your English, silly!
I am suggesting people to whom you wish to become close may object to your using their genitalia as a form of insult...
Or, as we say in my group: "Swear by your own genitals."
I be TEASING you.
I wasnt responding to you, bunny, I was finishing my post ...
Woulda just edited, but you got in the way..
I'm developing a strong aversion to that fiendish hog that keeps appearing at the top of the page, too. (No idea of what the advertisement's for.)
my not with it pc finally displayed the strobing fart button. way cool! if they only added an annoying sound effect to it, like an electronic alarm noise.
I can generally ignore a lot of the ads but I do find the fart and toenail ads particularly disturbing.
I was wasn't in the best of health one day as I sat at the computer, reading posts, when the toenail fungus ad came up. As a non-lover of feet I am a bit squeamish about them anyway and when the nail-bed lifted up, I vomited all over my keyboard. Thanks for that!
jesus the way that fart ad blinks in the corner of my eye drives me CRAZY.
I have such a hard time reading someones post when it's there. If it was on the top at least you could scroll down a little.
