The System 268 – Meanwhile, On the Internet…
I like to call this one “Meanwhile, on the Internet…” I think I’m going to start naming them after all. I resisted for a while, but we’ll see how this goes.
What’s your favorite insane web ad?

I can not stand the mortgage ads with the dancing people. But my all time least favorite ad are the super fat people with their ugly guts hanging out all over the place.

As soon as I make my WP theme add alt text, I'm there.

I liked the McDonald's banner ad from a few years back that had some guy eyeballing a Big Mac, saying "I'd hit that twice"

I like the contextual ads. Just the other day I was reading a perfectly normal post on another blog, and for no obvious reason, the ad services were tossing up ads about mental illness.

gmail targeted advertisements may not have dancing monkeys and shooting ranges – but they sure know how to get you with the awkward and strange associations they make with the words in your e-mails….

Personally, I think the best way to get someone to pay attention to a web-ad is to head the ad, in very large bold letters in the most provocative font available with the word: FREE–no strings attached.
Who would pass up anything starting w/Free?

I would pick Evony as having the worst ads. If I didn't know better, I'd just assume it's a game about breasts.

This seems to suggest that the higher temperature of the warm-blooded animal includes the advantage of enabling it to get rid of its entropy at a quicker rate, so that it can afford a more intense life process. ,

Special classes, separate schooling, or other removal of children with disabilities from the regular educational environment can occur only when the nature or severity of the disability of a child is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily. ,

yeah what's up with those adds? the ones where you shot something are freaky but the ones that are optic tricks like a dog with 6 legs or something and then "real or fake" strange things are happening online

I like the ones with the dancing people. I always see them on weather.com next to the words "Obama wants you to go to college! go! GO! Free money!" the dancing baby one's the best.
