That damned Billy the Kid ad...

Post Reply New Topic

Yes! I saw little clips from it. I'd love to see the whole thing.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm on a Mac so maybe I see something different with my Firefox.

When I right click on the ads to the left, I get a menu that does not say anything about adblock.
When I go to the bottom of my firefox window and right click Adblock, I get a choice of things like preferences, etc.

I have just put a Flashblock on for now.

Okay, now when I right click I'm getting the correct menu.

Yay, I blocked it. Now it's not there anymore, but it still pays for my favorite site.

This just reminded me of a particular episode of The Steven Banks Show where the story ran a few minutes short, so he ended it by sitting down and staring back at the audience for the remaining time. Anyone else ever see that show? It was on PBS in the mid-nineties.

I must have gotten good at tuning out online ads. I didn't really notice it until I read this thread. Or maybe his eyes just don't exactly look like they're focused on me, I dunno.

The ads weren't bugging me too much until everyone else here started complaining!

Certain ads tend to grate on my nerves really badly. This is one of them. Usually, ads bug me because of certain sounds, so it's not often internet ads(I almost always have my sound turned off, so I don't hear those annoying flash ads. Kinda funny, since I spent almost $200 on this sound card and speaker set and hardly use it).

There have only been a few really annoying ads in my past, but this was definitely one of them. I refrained from saying anything though because like all poor folks, we gotta eat somehow.

I usually don't notice ads, even the bily the kid one... mostly because they disappear wen i scroll down. If need be, I can turn off my monitor...

What really gets me are physical pictures... the ones that you can't turn off...

[quote="Visual77"]Is anyone else really annoyed by the look on his face?

I mean the ad that occasionally pops up on the left column. Black and white, for some movie called Billy the Kid, presumably about Billy the Kid, but I don't know.


*That's me circa 1974!! !! <LOL>
It does actually bear an incanny resemblance to a much (much!)
younger me. Spooked me when I saw it.

*Now a suave, sophisticated, sheaven-headed wizard lookee-likee

*Peace

*Tog

I don't see what the big deal is with it.

Yes.
Greatly.
<looks for Sharpie to blacken out his eyes and draw hideous mustache and horns>

Billy the Kid will haunt your dreams for blocking him!

Fear not the Billy!

It's so funny. I wonder what the photographer told this guy just before he snapped his pic? *Give us a ferocious look baby!*

OK - bashing of billy is removed now that he's a real person!
