Flashing "Win" ad containing subliminal messages?

I'm not sure, but I think I went into a trance with the "if the sign above is flashing, you are a winner" (strobing multicolored) ad. More annoying than the green thingie we were complaining about a coupla months ago.

There prolly should be a warning about posting when driving if this is allowed to continue.

JMO.

I'm hunting down that sucker and trying to kill it.

I strongly dislike flashing winner ads!

Jeez, Geoff, one would think you had some control of such things. Of course it WAS in The Farm, so...

Actually, I must have hit refresh about a hundred times hoping to get you more info, but natch it wouldn't show itself. (Or maybe it did, but I don't remember? )

It does look like Deep Discount DVD has the majority of the ads in Otter.

Those ads are provided by a different company. Everyonce in a while, we have to ask them to not use certain ads on our site, or pop ups creep in when they aren't supposed to. Geoff doesn't enter all the ad links in himself.

Kleinman-resistant ads -- oh my!

Actually, it's almost as good a wake-up as a cupa coffee.
