    the ad that keeps popping up is a cartoon of a fat belly and a thin belly with the words underneath saying one weird old tip to lose 4 stone of belly fat in 2 weeks when you go through to the site its an ad for colon cleanse and acai berry extreme telling you that you can lose crazy amounts of weight just by taking these pills as i understand it it is basically a scam to get your credit card details and send you these pills on a monthly basis without being able to cancel it easily

    just for fun i thought id get other peoples ideas of what a weird old tip would actually be obviously mines made up

    It's usually right there with the "Don't eat these foods" ones with the bananas. I like how when you go to the site, it's always a newscast person who volunteered to be the guinea pig and was amazed at the weight loss. If you search, the SAME exact words and format are used for several pills. They just change the name of the pill. The rest is the same.

    I'm going to be honest: this would make more sense with some punctuation.

    I'm also going to be honest...I don't pay attention to them. Oh, and it would make more sense with some punctuation.

    I'm just sayin'! I'm not sayin', but I'm sayin'

    What ads?

    I'm going to agree that I can barely comprehend what you're saying.

    It totally works if you slam two Red Bulls, run up three flights of stairs, then read it out loud.

    The ads I can ignore.

    The posters here with the same nonsense claims I can not.

    That's where I went wrong...I slammed 2 Red Bulls, ran up 3 flights of stairs, squinted, did a shot of tequilla and tilted my head sideways while reading it.

    your ads come up based on your cookies and key terms and phrases that you use. You're getting those because of your browsing history. I'm getting garnier fructis and Velcade ads.

    I HATE those! Never clicked on one, though; I figured they were probably viruses!

    There are wrinkle ones, too.

    That can't possibly be true because all I see are goat porn ads.

    Now if you really want to lose weight- then drink cat piss for a week and never EVER eat a banana because the sugar will counteract the cat piss. Seriously my friend's cousin did this and lost a ton of weight and gained five pounds of lean muscle mass too.

    It's the same type of thing that came up on Facebook last night saying that Justin Bieber had been attacked by a fan at either a NY or LA concert. It's all hype & sends a virus to your computer. Whatever you do, do NOT click on them. They are exactly what they say they are, an advertisement. Being online, we don't have the ability to either fast forward through the ads (like some of us can with Tivo) or walk away from them like we do when they come on TV. But we can do the same things we do as when they come on the TV, not pay them any attention.
