Oh the Irony...

[jeremy.king]

I thought this was pretty ironic...Look at the thread I was reading AND the ad at the top

Has this been pointed out before?

 

[zelmo]

Yup, but the irony is amusing and worth repeating

 

[dotnina]

How dare it mock Mudbug's authority!

 

[stoid]

Looks like some of our ad affiliates are going to get banned or wastelanded.

 

[michaelrjohnson]

Yes, Ironic!

 

[Will Curran]

affiliates banned or wastelanded?

oh noes!

 

[stubeeef]

there was a banner at the bottom about picking your free ipod!

Is it irony, or proof that we are all whores? Slaves to the advertising $$ that pay the way!

 

[dotnina]

affiliates banned or wastelanded?

oh noes!

Please tell me that you did not set fire to a paper bag atop {your | someone's} head solely for the purpose of contributing to this thread?

I’d say it’s photoshopped...

Yes, we know this happens. Yes, it's been reported. No, I don't think we can fix it.

Whether a post says "let's talk about lemurs" or "please don't talk about lemurs", the ad generator will likely pick ads about lemurs. As far as I know, we can't disable particular words or topics that it picks up on.

Bwahaha... if we all mentioned "lemurs" enough times, this ad from Google might show up at the bottom:

So just out of curiousity, do y'all really turn pithhelmet or adblock off just to play with the ads that show up on Macrumors? Cuz I know at least sone if you use 'em.

Has anyone noticed the banner at the bottom of this thread?

Daniel

EDIT: Never mind. I guess it only shows up every now and then. It was a free iPod banner, in case you were wondering.

Yes, that ad was the point of this thread.

 

[AmigoMac]

I have seen ads of *resellers* selling Powermac G6

Actually I had seen a similar picture on Albinoblacksheep.com but it has their url on it and says oh noes. So I search for a picture of a guy on fire, and put oh noes under it. It's probably psed, but I doubt it.

Well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out...

Well, I do that too, at *school*...I don't take my iBook with me absolutely everywhere I go, ya know... *thinks about this some more and then apologizes profusely and runs home to grab iBook*
