That banner ad is taunting me

So for the past few days there has been an ad for Living Social above my MFP homepage. It has a picture of an extremely delicious looking chocolate cupcake with bright blue icing and brown sprinkles. I want to reach through my computer screen and shove it in my mouth before anyone notices me doing it.

This is like a form of torture. Please tell me I'm not the only one seeing this ad that wants to do this, too!

    Yes! The first time I saw that ad I thought it was cruel to have an ad like that. Tempting and cruel LOL.

    I know me too! Everytime it's there and I look longingly at it hoping it will pop off the page and into my mouth! I really think they need to screen what they put on this site. It really seems counter productive. :laugh:

    Didn't noticed until this post, then I looked up and low and behold, there it is. I pretty much tune out most advertising so it has not got to me before.

    LOL - I'm equally tortured by the jewelry from Saks - it would make such a great 100 pound present to myself!
