Are you an average man?

[floyde]

Ok, at first I thought I was going insane, perhaps penile enlargement urges had gotten a hold of me :eek:. But now I realize that it's real, the ads are everywhere. Which ads you ask? Just look at the top of this page, and any other site you visit. How they can even afford that is beyond me. It's sort of driving me nuts, it's all over the internet :eek:

[Blue Velvet]

To those of you who have to suffer the ads in this thread, you have my sympathy.

[skunk]

I am more than averagely pleased not to have to see such adverts.

[BoyBach]

I have an above average number of feet and hands. :p

[gilkisson]

To those of you who have to suffer the ads in this thread, you have my sympathy.

Huh. I feel left out. I got an ad for Blu-Ray viewers...

It's sort of driving me nuts, it's all over the internet :eek:

A pirate walks into a bar, with a steering wheel shoved down the front of his pants.

The bartender says, "hey, buddy, don't that bother you?"
The pirate answers, "Arrr. Tis driving me nuts!"

[floyde]

Oh wow, they're even evolving as we type. Now one of them reads:

"Are you dreaming of becoming a real man?"

the other one goes (from the NYT):

"No woman is looking at you? Women like BIG surprises"

I didn't even refresh the page. It's like a virus.

[.Andy]

I use a suction pump enlarger anyway.

[Kardashian]

I have the Don Host advert on top of the page? :confused:

[arkitect]

What ads?
I only get Google offering to get the Cern Giant into my bedroom…

Hmmmm.

[Iscariot]

You know, I'm not actually sure if I'm an average man. I'm made entirely out of ectoplasm with a Play Doh like consistency, able to mold my mass into virtually any form. Is this normal?

[leekohler]

I think the deluge of penile enlargement ads are silly. We all know what the average is. The sad thing is- I've had a few boyfriends think they're small because of those things and a few porn films they've seen. It's ridiculous. It's just as ridiculous as an average woman comparing her breasts to Chesty Morgan's in the 70's. Come on, lets be real.

[OutThere]

Last year I had a real problem with spam emails from "MEGAD1CK" getting through my spam filter. Rather embarassing to open my computer with friends looking over my shoulder to an inbox with 50 new emails with "MEGAD1CK" somehwere in the sender/subject line.

And as for all this advertising...it pushed me to the limit to verify that I am, in fact, rather well ahead of the curve, if you will. ;)

[Compile 'em all]

i see no ads :cool:

[Much Ado]

I use a suction pump enlarger anyway.

Why? Do you have a small suction pump?

[Sun Baked]

I use a suction pump enlarger anyway.

Yes, we read all about the benefits of it helping the judges in the US stand tall.

[Blue Velvet]

i see no ads :cool:


Now you do.

Now that is some scary looking crotch rot. :eek:

If it turned you green, I bet your balls look even worse.

[gilkisson]

Now you do.

OMG, so I am insane? :eek:

Or perhaps they're demographically targeted ads, which can only mean... I'm penally challenged?!? :eek:
:p

Seriously though, for me they are everywhere (the Vimax ones), not only on macrumors

[noaccess]

I've refreshed this page a few times after reading the first post... every single time I got this:
It's for the iPhone, but... first thing I saw was ULTRA SLIM SILICONE... and then CASE.

[floyde]

This is what I'm getting every single time:

[heehee]

I've been getting the intel ad, never seen that before. :)

[ZiggyPastorius]

Nope, I'm not. Above, actually.

(Don't worry, I read the thread, just treating it like a question :p)

[Surely]

floyde: find yourself an Ad Blocker- then banner ads won't be able to point out your insufficiencies.

And for the record: Above. :cool:

[noaccess]

This is what I'm getting every single time:
I hope this type of advertising becomes a thing of the past soon. I can't imagine this benefiting anyone who might actually need it. Anyone at all, actually.

"Is this your insecurity? Buy this! What, you won't? God hates you, that's why he didn't bless you with a normal 9 incher, like he did the rest of us. It's true. What, you don't believe in God? People will laugh at you. With good reason too, I mean, who knows when you might find yourself naked at an intersection surrounded by equally insecure people? Oh really? What - you've never heard of sleepwalking? It's a lot more common than you think, actually, according to our research, everyone gets it at some point. Yeah, I thought so. Did I hurt your feelings (yet)? Well, I was only trying to help. Fine - good luck getting laid. No one wants to sleep with you, ya hear? I know you won't even try anymore because you're even more insecure now. Oh - you've changed your mind? I knew you would. Perfect - that'll be $199.99. Thanks for your purchase, you're awesome now, God loves you, in fact I'm attracted to you, and don't forget, the product only works if you shave your pubic hair. Use permanent hair removal for optimum results. It's that simple! *Smile*"

[localoid]

This is what I'm getting every single time:

If...

You're seeing this ad (every single time)

Most likely your Mac has been infected with a Trojan Horse called DNSChanger and you're a victim of "clickjacking (http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9115818)".

See also: New Mac Security News (http://www.securemac.com/), the source of the following information.

SecureMac has released a free utility called DNSChanger Removal Tool (http://macscan.securemac.com/files/DNSChangerRemovalTool.dmg) to remove the DNSChanger Trojan Horse, also known as OSX.RSPlug.A and OSX/Puper, which has been found on numerous pornographic websites disguising itself as a video codec. Once downloaded and installed, DNSChanger changes the DNS settings on the computer, redirecting websites entered by the user to malicious sites. If personal information is entered on these malicious websites, it can lead to identity theft.

If the DNSChanger trojan horse is detected, DNSChanger Removal Tool (http://macscan.securemac.com/files/DNSChangerRemovalTool.dmg) will give you the option to remove it. If the DNSChanger trojan horse (http://www.dnschanger.com/) is detected and removed, you will need to restart your computer to clear out the bad DNS entries added by the DNSChanger Trojan Horse. Download DNSTrojan Removal Tool. This detection and removal is also available in MacScan.

Oh wow... It's not my mac actually, it's my work's PC. And I just saw the same ad on a co-worker's computer, which means it's office-wide. Someone has been downloading porn at the office :eek:.

Anyway, feel free to use this thread to fantasize about your "friend's" size like other members have already done ;):D

[Gray-Wolf]

TMI!! in this thread!! :eek:

[Melrose]

Just look at the top of this page, and any other site you visit.

How do they allow ads like that on a public forum?! :eek:

I have a big mouse with lots of buttons. That's subliminal messaging for saying that in reality I have a big mouse with lots of buttons...

[Gray-Wolf]

In terms of this site, contribute $$ and you lose the ads. ;)

[rhett7660]

This is too funny... the kermit the frog comment had me laughing the most......

Suuuuure. ;)

[Much Ado]

To all the posters who felt compelled to turn up and type "Above" for the benefit of the online community, I say to you:

Pictures, or it didn't happen.

EDIT: As I too am 'above' I'll go first. Pictures here (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0).

[Abstract]

You're putting the cart before the horse, I'm afraid. It only happens when I'm looking at the right pictures. Picture first, then it's "above" average.

[floyde]

Suuuuure. ;)

Dude! Seriously, why would I need to download pr0n? Look at the size of my stash at home: ;)

[RITZFit]

I've yet to see such adds on this forums...lol, penis pills

[rhett7660]

LOL.... it is all about downloads my friend....

Nice stash by the way! :)

[dmr727]

Sigh...I'm like a baby down there.




9 pounds, 22 inches. ;)

Reminder...

If you like children, please name your next dog Willie.

At least this was it won't sound too strange to the other parents when you go to the park and ask children, "Do you want to pet my Willie?" and "Careful, my little Willie will get your face all wet." ;)

[bradl]

I'm just an average man, with an average life.
I work from 9 to 5, Hey hell, I pay the price!
All I want is to be left alone, in my average home.
But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, and

I always feel like Somebody's Watching Me
And I have no privacy
I always feel like Somebody's Watching Me
Stop playing tricks on me!

Gotta love the 80s. Average people, Average lives.. Michael Jackson when he was Black.. ;)

Yes, I know this is Rockwell.
