We all hate the advertisements on here, but I just had to share this because it's funny. Feel free to post a cropped screen-print of the ad that is currently on your page (the top one, side one, bottom one, any of them). Or if you have some sort of ad / pop-up blocker, can you link me to it somehow?

Here's what's on mine today. Is anyone else's the same?

On this browser, this seems rather permanent.

The sidebar changes. The blond girl with cleavage in the 'have yourself drawn as a cartoon' is my current favorite.

If everybody in the world used an ad blocker, advertising companies would lose tons of money and give up. I don't understand why most of the world puts up with this s**t.

Yeah I have the "ugly baby" adverts. They are quite ridiculous!
Maybe I should get adblocker!

Same here. I felt kinda guilty at 1st because WP gets money from the advertizing that is used to help fund this site but I don't feel guilty at all now when people talk about or post adds like the 1 here because it's so freaking stupid & offensive to people who don't feel they look attractive. NTs sometimes call us Aspies & autistics retorted but I think who ever came up with this kind of advertizing should be labeled retorted because it amazaes me at how wrong these adds are for this community

Top bar: A Dex ad.
Side bar: A Target ad advertising jeans.
Bottom square: It's currently blank. :scratch:

I downloaded Chrome's version of Ad-block yesterday, and I have not seen an ad since then.
