^Of course I will also never buy one of those drag racy shirts, but this ad is actually one I'd call non-intrusive.
@Scotchdrnkr This background noise is actually what bothers me; first of all the world as it is today is noisy enough (in fact much too noisy to be healthy); not necessary to have more of it. And for the background noise: Where do you think that goes? Yep that's right; straight into your sub-conscious. Even though you didn't click that ad and ignored it the message was delivered. You have seen the logo whether you want it or not. And that will affect your behaviour in some tiny way or another (Just don't you think all those marketing folks along with the specialised psychologists and other scientists trying to find more sophisticated ways to get you to do what the corporate bigwigs want are there for show or fun...). And that is the point I really don't like (in fact despise). I don't like people to try to manipulate me into their scheme. Thus I think it's morally ok to block the most obnoxious ads without remorse.
I am just very glad there's adblockers and the hosts file. As I am generally not annoyed with decent ads, everything that moves, bounces, flashes and makes even the tyniest noise has lost nothing on my screen and certainly nothing at all in my unconscious mind. I alone decide what's going there and what not; really no need to load that valuable space up with crap. So if I had to decide whether it's nasty ads or no content, I would chose no content and go out having a walk. But as I said; if the ads are non intrusive (and that's up to me to decide) I generally let them be.
I cannot help myself but I have quite a problem with places like Dubai having artificial ski slopes. In my opinion it's hard to top the decadence of that nowadays. But hey; it's just me.
most of those are not really single words if you ask me. I see no difficulty in combinig different words. I would give an example, but think that it would not be considered "neat". :)
My god JET: pull your head out of your behind and stfu. What a whiner. Got nothing better to do than being bitter and write useless comments like this? Just go away if you don't like it.

Good advice...
