You know the Google Ads box above? I was just wondering, there was this add which says something like "DO NOT CLICK UNLESS YOUR 18" I was like ok, I'll click it. But to me I got a broken link. So I want to know what the hell that ad is. I am so suspicous of it...

Surely the fact that it's called Google AdSense should have tipped you off to the fact it was actually self aware. :p


Oh and while we're at it get rid of the scrolling banner. I really hate marquees with a passion.

You didn't have to do that you know...

But that reminds me of updating my profile, at least.

I almost clicked on that, but I decided not to because I had absolutely no idea what it was. If the people who made the advertisement aren't smart enough to put in what they're advertising, then I figure they don't deserve my hit.

The flash at you until you feel like smashing it, and it also attracts looks from people beside you since it flashes so much.

Yes, but I haven't seen the "Don't click here if you're under 18" ad.

If you are in need of privacy, don't enter your Gender, Age, Location or Local time into your control panel? What's the big deal?

Wasn't even that much. Only information in the profile at the time he posted was gender, which hardly constitutes a breach of privacy. Especially when it's a quote from a publically available source, willingly filled out by the person it concerns, and which is specifically intended to provide that information to whoever is curious.

Because the joke is not as funny if I expect everyone to click on your name and see how old you are. :p

I like the ads.

There now are links to Italian sites...mostly because of my member title. It is funny. During the "and they hurled themselves into the void of spam..." thread, all ads were about "spam". You talk about TBP, and you find links to translation tools.

I thought Google Ads was text ads, not annoying scrolling McCain and IMVU ads.
