Uh-oh.

Just got ad for a funeral home. Guess if the masks are out of stock as is TP, you're gonna die

Yeah...I just finished digging a hole in the back yard I can fall into when the time comes. Gonna spend the rest of the day building a counter-weighted dirt-dumper that fills the hole automatically.

To quote the great character Napoleon Wilson in the even greater cult movie Assault on Precinct 13, "Can't argue with a confident man."

(SNIP) There are items I will refuse to buy just because their TV ads are so annoying. Just my two cents.

I am the same here, but not just limited to TV. If, for example, the folks that litter my front door with handbill advertising are disrespectful, like throwing their adds on the ground by my door, or leaving unwanted circulars on my drive, I would never do business with them.  There is a great John Prine song called "Stop Hollering at Me" talking about how inundated we are with advertising.

Just want to give Kudos to Dave.

The add situation seems to be under control now.

 

Thank you!!!

Maybe someone should explain to the advertising agencies that this is a model car site and that car modelers are inherently cheap skates ...if we can't use a 40% coupon we aren't interested 

[Dave Ambrose]

Sorry, my adjustments didn't work. I'll try again. 

[Deuces ll]

Thank you Dave.... ?

This add BS is out of control this is one of my go to every day sites and I have been getting the magazine for years but it's getting to the point I will be dropping the site we have no idea were these adds are coming from and my be letting unwanted BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH in to our computers I do to much on my computer now from home to take that chance it has got to stop.!!!

[Classicgas]

Quit coming to the forum when you can simply put a ad blocker on your computer???

[Xingu]

Ads were always there. If they bother you that much reinstall the ad blocker you must have been using before.

[Deuces ll]

Looks like they cleaned up a little.... I can deal with that.... ??

Or at least explain to them that we are probably not in the market for fertilizer?

I don't think we all see the same ads. Most ads are now geared to what else you've looked at on your computer. 

For example, I see a good deal of eBay and gun ads here. I bet most of you aren't seeing gun ads.

I have no idea why they might think I would be interested in fertilizer coatings or flexi finger crop lifters? I don’t recall ever looking at agricultural stuff.

The ads are much better. I am happy as long as I don't have to see the guy in his underwear dancing wait for his pizza...

I was gonna install an ad blocker but I've gotten to where i just scroll on past em..

Yes, and I'm sick of it there. Been tired of that song for at least 30 years.

I hated it when Tom Cruise was doing it and didn't think I could hate it more....I was wrong!

[StevenGuthmiller]

They are a lot better now than they were a couple of days ago.

 

I agree with Guido and Carl.

A few adds are no big deal.

I can live with it as it is at the moment.

So true! And I can name at least 20 other songs, maybe more, that are way over played.

I am getting the weird ads over (or really under) posts in the section threads. Annoying, yes. But, this is a free to use site. If I paid for it, I would care. As is, I will deal with it. I would actually pay for the website to get rid of ads.
