    was on friendster a bit ago to which i saw
    several 'lush' ads for an online dating
    service. there were two ads that i saw but
    try as i might, i was only able to retrieve
    one of them. here it is...

    .

    truad

    the original ad i saw was much more ridiculous...
    but also featured an ad displaying the
    inflated chest of some faceless female
    casually emphasizing that love can be found
    below the neck as long as you sign up for
    their program. (incidentally, the program
    is $40 a month)

    after seeing the second ad, i felt violated
    and angered by such a sexist and ridiculously
    moronic ad that i had to visit the site...

    surprise surprise... the ads on site looked
    more like these people:

    realad


    of course both ads attempt to legitimize
    this scandalous rip-off service, but its
    humorous to see the drastic change of
    imagery from ad to ad.

    at any rate, if you were to visit TRUE and
    click through the profiles, you'd see what
    you normally see on such sites... three
    kinds of people:

    1) actual people that use the service hoping
    to meet someone that won't rob them,
    embarrass them, or basically murder them in
    the shower

    2) actual people that find it entertaining
    to take advantage of the free profile
    feature by creating some stupid profile
    about themselves or people they know with
    added obscure information about a preference
    to eat pudding from a cup.

    3) actual people that find a boost to their
    ego to pose for a slutty picture or using
    an image from the internet and say something
    even more gay in the profile so that they
    can find out just how sexy they can be
    while hiding safely behind the screen.

    at any rate, my beef is about the ads....
    yeah... the ads. stupid stupid ads...

    there is another ad that i find a bit..."demeaning"...i guess that's the right word...

    anyways...it's a picture of a busty model with her shirt half open....the caption says "We are busting at the seams with attractive females" or something along those lines.

    Much better.

    Plain ads like that don't bug me cause I usually have them blocked before my brain is able to process the image. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Flash ads are an incredible pain in the ass though, cause I really don't have any way to block flash without turning it all off, which then make me unable to see flash that I actually want to see.

    the ad didn't really bother me as much as seeing some
    lame ad with a faceless person's chest in my face.
