Am I the only one noticing how cruel the advertising banners can be on this site?

Just had several times a banner with about 10 sugary cotted donus right in front of me promoting a website of some sort all that while I was counting my calories for yesterday (which by the way was about twoce as much as I should have eaten!).

haaaaaaaaaaa! :angry:

    Yeah, I see the donuts regularly as well :( I've also seen what looks like McDonald's hamburger and fries as well! Not nice! Right, off to the gym now!

    If it weren't for the adverts this site would not be free. At least they are just pictures and we can't smell them. When I see something fattening that looks really tempting I close my eyes and try to visualise it again with a cigarette butt stubbed out in it and the contents of an ash tray spinkled over it

    I've just got adverts for night-time nappies. Maybe after my comments about my weak pelvic floor whilst trampolining, they're trying to tell me something?!
