Have any of you seen any stupid ads around the forums? The one that bothers me the most are "Win a free PS3" or "Win a free XBox 360" because, GUESS WHAT?!?! THOSE SYSTEMS HAVEN'T EVEN COME OUT YET!!! But sometimes the "Ads by Google" are just way off topic. They're supposed to reflect what's being typed on the page that they're on, so like in the Kingdom Hearts thread, it'll say "Buy Kingdom Hearts on eBay", but sometimes it's just wierd, talking about swimming coaches or gym class or something random like that @_@. Anyways, are there any ads on these forums or anywhere else that make you ANGRY or that are just plain wierd?

Usually I don't pay attention to them since they aren't as annoying as popups. Sometimes I read the little blurb next to them if I've got nothing better to do, but usually I don't even notice they're there because I'm too busy reading the threads!

Huzzah. Fast reader, are you?
I'm with you Lord Pharaoh, people who fall for the 'win a free' anything trap deserve to be scammed. But even so its not the thought but the very mass of the adds that drives me a little crazy. Everywhere, that's where they are. You could look under rock in the interworld and see them crawling around like bugs. Punch out Osama Bin Laden and win a free ticked through life, my foot. Your contribution to the war on terror would have been better spent had you taken a flight to the middle east and thrown a rock a some poor random muslim's head. Okay, maybe not, but honestly, anybody so stupid should- :oOOO (<in the manner of Homer Simpson) swat the fly and win a free PS3. This is it, m'boy! Good fortune is knocking on my door at last!
CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE WON A NEW PS3[/color]

Here's another perfect example of stupid ads aimed at the completely wrong group: "Own Costa Rica land - 2.5 acres - prime ocean real estate, low money down, no monthly payments". IS THIS A REAL ESTATE WEBSITE?!?!
