MTV Skins Ads

[Robzula]

I'M ABOUT READY TO KILL SOMEONE IF I HAVE TO SEE THAT gorram AD FLASHING AT ME WITH ITS nerfherder HALF NAKED TEENAGERS ONE MORE TIME! Seriously, it's been on EVERY SINGLE SITE I frequent for the past few weeks and it's driving me crazy! Anyone else seeing it a lot, or is the internet out to get me?

[The Brain]

Nope, teh interwebs must just be out there to get you. I've actually never seen an MTV ad online before in a banner. There are plenty of scantily-clad women ads, but none for MTV.

Why, what sites have you been frequenting?

[Robzula]

This site, for one...

Also GameFAQs, TV Tropes, various Wikis... a couple others which I can't remember.

[Jargon]

I've been seeing it on Mibbit lately. It's a bit much.

[The Brain]

Curious. I haven't been in chat in forever, so I wouldn't know about Mibbit banners, but I've never seen said ad on FBTB. I'm getting a lot of Allstate and Party America ads though.

Actually, I wonder if we could take this thread into the direction of bizarre banners members see on this site. I feel like that could get really interesting.

[Solo]

Oh I get it, this is a thread for people that don't use adblock.

[Robzula]

No, I like my sites to get revenue and not shut down. I'm not complaining about ads in general, I'm complaining about this one particular ad that seems to be everywhere.

[Solo]

I'm sorry, I should know better than to present a solution in a rant thread. Carry on.

[onions]

i still haven't seen this ad.

[Robzula]

Dear lord, I just got an email to enter the MTV Skins "Make a Video" contest...

[Solo]

They are targeting you...

[Lord T]

Wow so the US has adopted and adapted Skins huh? A truly awful UK show, and this coming from the 'target market'. I feel your pain.

[The Brain]

Actually, I just saw this ad for the first time last weekend. I understand now why it was so annoying to Robzula, especially if it keeps showing up for him.
