Now, let's post screencaps of amusing advertisements from TASVideos! I mean, granted, if I was a girl, I wouldn't mind a bit of girl-on-girl action, but unfortunately, I'm a male.

I think many of our regular visitors are tech-savvy enough to use AdBlock Plus (which is surprisingly good; so far it has filtered out the vast majority of ads in all webpages really transparently and without crippling the usability of the pages; it can even remove those annoying ads from flash-based video sharing sites) or a similar ad filter. Of course at least AdBlock Plus has support for easily enabling ads on a per-site basis. Perhaps I could try that just to see if something funny pops up sometime.

Flygon, Google's probably been tracking your computer accessing lesbian porn. I agree about the ABP thing, though. Just use that and you'll see the internet as it was meant to be seen. At least that's how I choose to think about it.

As true as that could be, I'm still amused by the end result. I do actually have AdBlock installed, but I put TASVideos on the whitelist because I click the ads. I reckon everyone else should, too.

I have ABP installed, but I disable it for the small-time (i.e. non-commercial) sites I visit regularly. Ads on those sites (including TASVideos) aren't intrusive enough to bother me, and the site can use the revenue.

Google always produces ads that relate to sites you've visited and searches you've made. For example I was browsing over hotel prices in a specific area the other day. I wasn't exactly surprised when a google ad comes up on TASvideos saying "Cheap hotel rooms in XXX". Looks like Flygon has been accessing Lesbian porn :-D

I actually find this sort of disturbing. I was looking for anti-bark devices (damn neighbor dogs). After that, EVERY website with ads was offering me anti-bark devices. Ugh. I hate being tracked.

If you use adblock or any variant thereof you're denying advertising revenue to the very sites you want to stay up (as proven by the fact that you visit them regularly), so, uh,

One possibility: Your sister uses that computer too, and she's a lesbian. Another: YOU ARE A GAY and also very girly
