[QUOTE=CheeseMan;38261363]Woah I hope you + the guys who rated agree are the only people with this mindset Sustaining things through advertising is one of the best boons of the 21st century. If every prick who wanted his free service to be completely mood-unbroken used adblock, half the stuff we use daily would be unsustainable. Seriously, all you have to do is sit on your buttocks and look at something. Except you don't even have to look at it, you can twaddle your weiner for the average 13 or so seconds it runs for all Google cares. There's valid complaints in real problems like over-saturation of advertising or unskippable ads that are longer than 20-30 seconds but not this.[/QUOTE] Nobody likes ads Nobody If constant TV watchers were given the choice to skip ads I'm sure 90% of them would, my parents record shows in advance just so they can watch them later and FWD all the 5 minute ad breaks No I don't want power ranger action figures, no I don't want maxi-pads, no I certainly don't want less fat cheese, get the fuck off my shows I'm watching the new Walking Dead episodes at the moment, and I think it would be a massive pain in the ass if a serious story moment was happening then suddenly it fades away "HI I'M BILL FROM BILLS BIG CARPET WAREHOUSE, EVERYTHING MUST GO, 66% OFF ON ALL DESIGNER CARPETS, GETTING RID OF STOCK AND EVERRRYTHING MUST GOOO *shitty star wipe transition* " [B]awful[/B] Excuse me for wanting to watch my programming without getting rudely interrupted every 6 minutes so somebody can yell at me to spend money on tat

Oh Halloween. So expected. Men at school dressing up as military personal or princesses for shits and giggles. Women dressing in cat ears and spandex/latex/whatever which would make a neckbeard fall to his knees.

They should just produce and broadcast programs using the money they get from the magic money mines under the studios.

I have never seen an a ad and actually wanted to buy something from it they're useless

you guys will argue about anything, holy shit.

It's pointless because it's a necessary evil and isn't even that much of a problem in the first place

How people are starting to annoy the shit out of me over the fact that the power in my place is still on after the hurricane. They keep saying that I "don't deserve it" or some stupid shit for literally no reason at all.

I'm so close to having enough money to get a PS Vita (old psp died years ago, always wanted a new one) But apparently my dad says I can't get one until he see's better results at school "So I need permission to use my money?" "Yes" u wot ? "Why don't you save up money for something useful like a car?" What the arse am I supposed to do with $300, get a mirror and a air freshener? edit before any of you clever clogs says I must have seen it on an ad, I didn't walked into the game shop, saw it on a shelf and screamed "I MUST HAVE DAT ONE"

[QUOTE=TheSporeGA;38262168]I have never seen an a ad and actually wanted to buy something from it they're useless[/QUOTE] Ads are dumb and useless. That's exactly why they own. It's the only time a large corporation has 100% hoofed the bill on something for the consumer for what's basically the nebulous concept of trying to get people to buy your shit when they don't care about it, and we get off scot free except having to invest time (and since we're all on FP I'm p. sure we've got fuckin' bucketloads of that right) There's 2 things that can come from selfish ad-circumvention shit. Either: [sub]It just turns into an arms race between ad-blockers and ad-ad-blockers (with people developing different methods for ads and different ways to get them outta yo' face) which means adblock stuff is never around long enough for the wider public to catch on (aka the good ending where fat cats get their money and the savvy people who care get to go ad-free)[/sub] Or [sub]Adblock-esque stuff gets into the public eye, everyone and their dog is using it, meaning the model of a service sustained by ad monies is busted due to nobody actually watching the ads. aka the shit ending where the fat cats get jaded and shaft the consumer by switching to a more direct way of holding their shit up like I dunno, that increasingly popular system of microtransactions [/sub] The equation of ads being shit doesn't even factor in here, everyone knows ads blow, but it's the best system ay.

Nobody does anything for free. If you stop paying with your time, they'll eventually make you pay with cash.

Last moment organising stuff. I have 4 hours to get all my mates together to go see the Shining at the local cinema, it's harder than it sounds.

You have 4 hours and you think it's hard? You must be fucking terrible at sorting shit out then if 4 hours isn't enough time, my god.

Gangnam style has been driven into the ground harder than any other fad I have ever seen, I've heard it on the radio 4 times now and I constantly hear people singing it. It's just so annoying now, not because it's famous but because it's so fucking tedious to hear it 3 times a day

I thought you heard it 4 times, not 3?

I never heard it somewhere and my friend showed it to me just a recently, I wonder how I got around this for so long. Anyway it gets annoying, although some parodies are really funny.

We were like one of the first next to the elderly because my father recently had a kidney transplant. Some 20 year old smoker whined and moaned about not being able to get one and kept referencing to us.
