Cap'n Cat Protests Religious Slant of CS Advertising

Post by Cap'n Cat »

Chris, Willie, Jon - whomever, I hereby protest against the multitude of ads at the bottom of the pages for Christian colleges and other Jesus-related dung and ask that you adopt a more fair and balanced line in your advertising choices.

Not everyone on here is a Christian. There are Jews, Muslims and non-believers, too. I find the ads unnecessarily intrusive and a detriment to my enjoyment as a posting member of this site.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Yours,

Cap'n Cat

I believe the ads are based on cookies from websites you visit. Almost all my ads recently have been for Vegas hotels since we've been planning a trip. Soooo I guess that means we all know what you are doing with your free time......

All of mine have been from security software websites and programs due to me redoing my security system on my computer.


I guess the true side of Cap shows...on accident.

I thought that the ads were related to the thread topic.

I never really pay attention to the ads. But I happened to look at the bottom of this page load and it was a bunch of pregnancy-related ads.

If that were true, Cap'n would be getting a lot of ads for Viagra and Extenze.
These signatures have a 500 character limit?

What if I have more personalities than that?

This is correct. I noticed it a couple months ago. Start a car thread and car loan ads will pop up.

ps...as a show of my indignation on this topic, I hereby offer to cover all expenses you incur by removing these paying advertisers from your site so I can enjoy. Where do I mail the certified check?

How about that? D1B, Cappy's own brother, is almost solely responsible for all the annoying religious related ads at the bottom of the screen. Seems maybe a phone call would've been easier than a new thread (especially one that further propogates the appearance of even more religious advertising). :coffee:

Here's a hint fellas:


KEYWORDS

Frick...I thought even the most ignorant surfer knew that ads from Google are based on keyword frequency! :rofl: Type the word "catfish" in several threads and you'll probably see ads for "stink-bait" :rofl: OOOOoooooooo-Weeeeee! :rofl:

No body mentioned Pizza yet on this thread and right now there is an ad at the bottom for Papa Johns. So much for this theory that a word that gets mentioned in a particular thread will determine the ad at the bottom of that thread....

Damn, I'm hungry. Think I'll go get me some pizza....

I'm still only seeing Vipre adds with this thread.


I get UNI football gear adds on other threads. Rarely do they related to the topic

Now you've compromised my message board experience. I didn't even realize there were ads at the bottom of the page. Now I'm probably going to look at them.
