OMFG -- Please tell me this is a joke

in Chit-Chat
Did anyone one else have this little beauty in an ad at the side of their MFP pages? A link to selling Robo-Pong? As a great fitness device. Better than going to the gym. I couldn't watch more than a few minutes, but it's a full half hour video. And for almost a thousand bucks, you too can have one. Are they nucking futs? Great. Now that'll be at the side of my MFP windows for a long time. I still can't get rid of the damned Brazilian Butt Lift ads because I clicked on a discussion about that once. Thanks MFP for rotting my brain a bit more:

    I keep telling them I'd gladly pay to get rid of the ads, but MFP ignores me!

    I use an ad-blocker.

    The ads are based off of what you're searching for..so there is that.

    Search/browser history is only a portion of the equation, but ABP is my friend also.

    I'd love to know where the Krispy Kreme ad is coming from, then.

    I get ads for lumosity.

    That's because I use a different browser for porn.

    Who the frick cares? Does it really make your life that much more horrible to have a small spot on the site taken up by an ad? It's not like you HAVE to click it. Or, maybe you SHOULD click on all of them...I'm sure the MFP creators would appreciate it, that is how they make moeny to keep this site up and running, and make it so that it's free for you to use...

    Most of the ads you get are controlled by your own browsing history and search terms.

    Most of my ads are for things like REI, Rogue Fitness, protein powder and bars, and the like. I also get my share of McDonald's ads when I go into fast food threads.

    They're all easy enough to ignore, except the REI and Rogue Fitness ones, because they're hitting me right where it hurts. :wink:

    Oh, there it is again! An ad for wedding dresses!


    How did that get on there?

    Edit: actually they are for something called a "mother dress".

    that's not a joke. I just plugged in my exercise calories from the workout. I'll post from my wall

    cranshinibon burned 99999999k calories doing 5 minutes of Robo Pong (EXTREME)

    I was just excited that it comes with free balls.

    i do too... I have never found that to be a great selling point, though

    But it seems like everywhere I turn around town, they're selling ping pong balls. I some some at the grocery store yesterday. My 7-11 has a whole supply of them. Is there a new fad of playing ping pong?

    I have no problem with the ads whatsoever. But it's the robo-pong that seems rather silly to me. The ads I ignore, And I'm glad they are here to help support MFP. But would anyone spend $1k to buy robo-pong? Is table tennis making a huge comeback? I don't know anyone who has one in their house. But maybe it's just me.

    I no longer notice the ads I have to admit. I never click on any of them either, except for once, I accidentally clicked on one for a car.

    I haven't seen any robo-pong one.

    Two words, buddy: Beer Pong.

    If you use google chrome you should install the 'AdBlock' app. It blocks all ads for every site. I haven't seen any of the ads you're talking about. It's aweseome!
