I understand them wanting to make money, but seriously, why would they put Domino's ads on a dieting person's home page? LOL, that is exactly what I saw when I just logged on, hmmm, makes me want one and that's not good lmao!

    the adds are based on cookies stored on your computer, so someone on that computer was looking at Dominos or something similar.

    Yeah. It's pretty brutal. I get a lot of cheeseburger and pizza ads. I try not to look at them. Lol

    MFP does not control the ads you see. Quit surfing the web for pizza and porn and you won't see anymore Domino's or Jenna Jameson ads.

    I surfed for porn for over a month (you know just to test) and never got any adult ads:cry:

    Just so y'all know, I'm going out for pizza tonight. I'm thinking pepperoni, mushroom, black olives, and maybe jalapenos. Hell yeah!

    We have a gym in our area called Planet Fitness and Mondays are pizza day. They should offer a healthy snack instead lol

    Really? bc there was a giant ad for HIV treatment on mine... unless there's something my husband isn't telling me, I don't think we've done any related searches lately.

    There's no way that they're strictly based on what I've looked at. I get ads for products I've never even heard of, such as "Lumosity."

    My personal suggestion is to use an add-on in your web browser where you control the ability of the ads to show. I use Flashblock, and unless I click on the box, I don't see what's in it! :)

    Good luck and good health!

    I don't see the problem really. First its out of MFP's control since its google ads and second, do you close your eyes when you drive close to a McDonnalds or a Domino's place? I surelly hope not!
    In your new self is important to learn to live with the "temptations" and learn to resist to them.

    Pizza can be healthy. Its when you add meatballs, sausage, bacon, etc,... that it becomes unhealthy.

    That explains why my car insurance is so much higher since I joined MFP.

    Or when you eat a whole large pizza.

    Jenna hasn't returned my calls. As a result, I'll be going for pizza with my wife and spending the night in my own bed. It turns out this is a good alternative to spending one night in Jenna's bed and all subsequent nights buried in my back yard after my wife finds out and murders me.

    Plus your penis is likely to rot and fall off (prior to the murder of course).

    I had pizza for dinner tonight!!! YUM! Four slices! But I worked out major today. Hiked for an hour carrying two 3 lb weights. I still came out ahead by 8 calories

    I hate when that happens.

    I tend to get weight loss and singles ads. I don't know why I get singles ads because I definitely do not surf anything related.

    I wouldn't be bothered by the pizza ads though, just so long as they don't come up with a way to do online scratch and sniff.
