I Really Hate Those Interdry Ads!

I know how the forum works with advertisement that make it available for us free of charge BUT I REALLY hate those INTERDRY ads, they are, well, GROSS! I know it's a problem for some people but seeing that illustration of that bib like thing tucked into that red nasty ulcerated pendulous stomach just makes me want to barf.

I have not and WILL NOT click on those ads. I'd rather be poked in the eye with a sharp stick.

Thought the same think, Rootman.

I must admit though, this ad is much more distracting. That elbow is a subliminal along with the open jeans. :o:D

They gotta make bucks, though, I don't begrudge them that. This forum has meant a great deal to many people.

Yeah I've run adblock stuff before but I also realize that sites like this have to have SOME sort of funding, we just can't TAKE and not GIVE something - even if it's simply being subjected to ads.

As much as I don't like them I know the guys running this site are not getting rich and deserve whatever income they can derive on a free to sue site.

I just wanted to vent and rant and hopefully the advertiser will realize they are alienating the very people they are hoping to contact with their nasty ads. They won't know unless they get feedback - and hopefully this will somehow come to their attention - at least without me clicking on the pic of that nasty belly.

I don't run adblock because I am fascinated at how the ads pick up on the very thing I've been searching for on the web. Obviously someone is monitoring my searches and the ads show up accordingly.

Oh, yeah, I don't mean I've been searching for belly pads. Really,... I haven't. <_<

Yuck! I've never seen the ad you're describing but it sounds offensive!

I see ads for weird video games and rock bands.

It seems so strange to me to hear you talk about ads, I am really glad I see no ads on here. I know it would really annoy me. I don't even know where they would go. My whole screen is filled up with vertical sleeve talk.

I am so glad I use firefox!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
