    Just jumping in,
    but kind of shocked someone is actually surprised to see ads on the internet.

    yeah, big shocker. :laugh:


    One thing to keep in mind,
    is when a website uses advertisements
    to pay for the cost of the website,
    YOU
    get to belong to that website for free.:smile:

    Websites can cost $100s of dollars or more to maintain. I was surprised when i found that out. I'd rather be a member for free,
    and see ads for ppl who might need such products and have no idea such products even exist!!!!!!

    than have to pay to belong to MFP.


    I don't read the ads, have never even really noticed them,
    but, i guess i am free to read
    or NOT read any ads i see.

    I realize this is a weight loss web site, but do we really need to be reminded like this? I look at the ad banner and see an advert for a sheet of some absorbent material you're supposed to put in your fat fold to relieve "irritation"...Come on, people don't need to be reminded of that particular problem!






    also,
    i don't think the point of the ad
    is to "remind people of that particular problem"
    ????

    but possibly,
    to let anyone who does need such a product,
    know that there are things to help with that...who knew?
