It's not as bad as the cylindrical shaft of flesh that keeps showing up in an ad. The one with the dark spot by the same company.

Is this an actual ad placed into the post? I thought it was a generic banner ad.

I've been getting a pleasant YouTube ad with Emma Thomson and one with Obama making a speech at the UN. You cant have everything ;)

chickelit said...

Yes, R&B. This is a spoof. :)

It looked that way too, to me. But, I installed Ad Blocker yesterday, as they are just becoming too much to bear, ad's.

I'll give up on it all, the internet, due to it.

And be much better off I suspect.

I actually like banner ads and TV commercials. My wife tries to navigate through them by watching everything delayed. I watch them with opened-eyed, childlike amazement.

The ad links to this.

I mentioned the ugly hand ad on the recent thread here discussing...um...you know....althouse.

I didn't quote the ad copy correctly, but that doesn't bother me. It's the thought that counts.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

The words 'weird' and 'trick' made the faux ad look real.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

The hand of um...you know....althouse :)

Well, to gainsay that slight bit of blasphemy Lem links, it appears to be an illusion made of hot gas, spun off by a white dwarf going around in circles.

Ah, Lem, that's okay. I think it's more poetic than blasphemous.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

I ran with it.

So's my hot gas emitter. Poetic, that is.
