Ads on websites, and why i hate them.

Don't get me wrong, i'm a realist and i know that companys need to advertise their products and services, but why do they have to do it in such annoying ways? I mean take that annoying ad that stretchs the screen up there^ (hopefully that will be fixed soon!)

The ones that really get on my nerves are.

Look tits! ads - Ads that cater to the lowest common denominator, namely teenage boys. Don't get me wrong I like bewbs as much as the next hairy handed net surfer, but come on, I dont need to see a set of cans advertising every little thing from poker sites to shower gel!

ZOMG YOU WONZ!!!1! ads - Yes thats right! You are the 10,000th visitor to the site for the 2nd time today, what are the chances? Ads that prey on the gullable and people new to the internet.

1+1=? ads - Ads that ask a stupifyingly easy question, and that tell you that all you need to do is answer it to "win" Yup just answer the question then gives us your contact details (of course we wont sell these details on, promise!) oh, and we'll also need your friends email addresses and your medical records and your bank details, but you get a free ringtone! =D

Test your skillz! ads - Just like the 1+1= ads but instead of a simple question they take the form of a "game" which (usually) consist souly of you tapping a button 3-4 times before you can claim your prize - a pop up asking once again for your details - whoopee do!
