Disappointing MFP advertisement

BuffingButtons

I logged in today and was disappointed with the Bud Light advertisement. It even comes in video format and draws immediate attention.

Luckily, I hate beer. But to others, it can be a real temptation. Losing weight is hard enough. I hope others that see it can ignore it and hold firm to their weight loss goals.

We all can't afford MFP's premium version.

MFP should be better at discerning why the audience is here. If any beer advertisement is needed, isn't there a low calorie beer that could have been advertised?

Thanks for listening!

if its like other websites - they don't get much say in the ads that are shown - they purchase a package and the ads you see are the ads they receive

They are google ads. MFP does not have a say. All the ads are based on google stalking you and key word searches.

True Story: The first ad I saw today was for Bentley.

I was looking for cars this weekend online.

Bentley is not on my radar.

Chippendale and Trojan ads abound?

Sigh. Just ignore it. And if I want a beer, I can have a beer and still lose weight.

Oh, hah! Good thing I didn't come on here and complain about anything too secret.

I bet the Bud Light advertisement is from the recent playoffs. Darn those Dallas Cowboys. They haunt me even on my phone.

Too bad it can't be based on the items you use a bar code scanner for, or items you frequently have on your diary. I'd love to see more ads related to what I can do with the items in my diary versus web advertisements.
