I surf the net a little bit from time to time. I was just trying to find some things to blog about actually. I was at comingsoon.net trying to find some interesting movie news tidbits but they have so many ads in flash that my CPU loaded up to 100%. This, of course, slows my machine WAY down to a crawl. So I went to freewarepalm.com. Same thing happened there. I thought about going to superherohype.net but since they are run by the comingsoon.net ppl I knew what to expect. More ads.
All this brings me to my thought. Why do we have to be subject to so many ads during the course of the day? I have the option to earn some money by placing ads on this very blog but I will never do so (of my own will) because I know you people hate ads as much as I do.
I bought a can of Pringles the other day and guess what was on the individual chips. Ads. Seriously! i can't even sit down and eat without being bombarded with ads.
Doesn't the advertising industry understand that 90% (my guess) of the ads out there are CRAP and only piss people off who are just trying to get their email and check out a web site or two? I never look at the ads. The Firefox web browser even has an ad-on to block all images and motion gifs from web pages. I use the Adblock ad-on quite often to keep these stupid ads from getting in the way.
Am I the only one that feels this way? Doubt it.
