I Really Hate Those Interdry Ads!



Recommended Posts

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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
