Funny thing is.. I've yet to see a Jesus camp ad. It's probably coming from Google ads. But... you get what you get...

This is the second thread about this, and I've yet to see the ad. Weird. Is it another screamer (Toothfairy ad)?

According to Google, you need Jesus.

Thank you,

I've never seen one. I guess it's revenge for all the people that never got the smiley ads about a month ago.

Why do you feel so threatened/annoyed by these ads. I frequently notice doubling of ads like this but I can't say it's ever really bothered me. In fact the only ads that bug me are the ones that make noise.

I hate bible thumpers, so the ads are a bit annoying for me. But like you said, not anything like the onces with sound and I just ignore them for the most part.

Double ads in general get annoying as you get sick of seeing the same ones, and it's a little more so when it's on a subject matter that is a pet peeve for you.

ditto. And it's a little more than a "pet peeve" for me.

and yes...it's at the top of the page for me as well.

Yeah, I'm threatened by them.

It has nothing to do with the content of the ad, it's just annoyingly prevalent (as others have been in the past). Someone clicking their pen doesn't bug me either, but it does when they do it over and over and over and over*.







* and over

As you mention all ads have a way of popping up in abundance like this so I was just curious as to why this one sparked your ire. If you say it's not the content that's fine you're the only one that can be the judge of that...

Yep. Makes it look like a horror movie.

I'm sure for some of us, it would be.

He may have paid his $30 membership fee, though.
