Annoying Adverts

[8ball]

Vic Chestnutt would never be in my definition of bad. Nor Neil Young.

I had a flatmate years ago who couldn’t stand him, and concede that he would not be thrashing the opposition on X factor or whatever shite they have on the state broadcasting channels these days.

Ah, I do miss Vic.

If you google esoteric crystal shit, then esoteric crystal shit gets advertised to you - what can I say?

I think it’s called “manifesting”.

Just watching a postcodelottery ad and was thinking how much I fucking hate gambling ads. Then noticed that the prizes are 300,000 or 400,000 odd, which would be lifechanging enough and you'd hope would mean there were lots of people getting them. As opposed to one person winning the stupid fucking several hundred million pounds prize.

They must have read my mind.
Someone was praising Tim Spector and his personalised gut biome diet crap (same person thought the sun shone out of John Campbell's arse) and I was biting my lip and this advert shows up on Facebook.

What the hell is a "fast casual restaurant" ?

 

[quiet guy]

That's some mixed up algorithm to go from Chinese cuisine, fast casual restaurants to an advert for Islamic cure and care.

Worth bearing in mind though if I'm ever threatened by "evil eye" or "djinns" ...

Wasn’t that the title of a Parliament/Funkadelic jam c.1978? ‘(Dancing In Tha) River Of Piss’?

The all clear one.
Guy wants a holiday.
Wife ' what about your heart'?
It's all clear.
Wife ' but what about your age'?
It's all clear.
Guy ' fuck off I want a divorce you doom mongering fucker'.

Cheeky Nando's?

I am trying to avoid polluting my brain with an understanding of "click funnels" ....
I still don't understand Bitcoin mining ...

You get a computer running for fucking ages trying to solve an equation that allows you to basically create an entry in an encrypted ledger that lots of people keep on their computers.

The ledger is a record of who has created, and who has spent, this kind of “money”.

Without mining, no spending can happen because there is no room in the book to write down the accounting details.

Lots of other people are doing the same thing. If you get there first you get a magic token which you have to try and cash in before the price of tokens collapses and the previous entrants who got lucky need to go back to their bosses and grovel for their old jobs.

No one seems to be spending with it very much, but the mining continues, because people keep wanting lots of money for their magic tokens.

(I think this is about 85% accurate - someone will be along soon to clear up any inaccuracies)

And wtf is living remotely?

And wtf is living remotely?

Like in the Outer Hebrides or more than 10 minutes walk from a tube station.

 

[gentlegreen]

It's been nothing but "click funnels" on my phone at the moment (I don't have an ad blocker).
This made a change...

WTAF ??

I report these on sight when it's an option ...

Presumably they warm the room by starting a fire

just had to mute the TV [we were watching something about an old film]
ad break comes on
The first assault on the eyes and ears was that heycar ad, it was nearly as annoying as the motorway ones.

 

[gentlegreen]

This may be the most disgusting "diet" advert yet - yours for only £199 in three installments for very few calories ...

 

[gentlegreen]

Not annoying, but every kind of loony jumped on this one - about deadly microwaves, its being an unhealthy cooking method and vegan food not being healthy - and even an alt-right man-baby calling it "virtue signalling" - most notably a French person living in the UK who took me to task when I commented ... some crazy mixed-up conspiracy shit on their profile.
I hope they continue to read the educational contents of mine.

I couldn't find the Facebook adverts thread...

I only see them on my phone in the middle of the night.
This one is everywhere at the moment ...

A rechargeable water hydrolyser - presumably any salt will mean you're basically paying over the odds for chlorine bleach.

What annoys me most is the bollocks about "pesticides".

I would have been even more annoyed if this had this emerged when covid disinformation and grift was peaking ...

 

[gentlegreen]

More food paranoia ...

Getting sick of these "I've got verisure too" adverts. In the latest one the guy says "I'm protecting all this" but all you can see is the corner of an old style CRT television. Dude not even the hardest up crack addict would steal a CRT fucking TV these days
