i really dont care that its a stupid ad. what i really do care about is that i cant make it stop. place all the dumbass ads ya want to here and i doubt anyone would care. but when the ad is intrusive, obnoxious and in your face never ending, thats when it crosses the line of unacceptability.
and for the record, thank u shitloads tgr420 for the place you've created for us all to share in the groove. much respect and praise
I really enjoy the stoke on TGR....fuck I hate that Oakley ad...always gets set off by dragging the mouse to the forums.
i have dragged my mouse everywhere on all forums... not using adblocker and cannot find.
i guess oakley doesn't like me...

It looks like they may be gone. I am looking for them as well. I never really hit them on my work PC with a mouse but I hit them all the fukking time when I am using my laptop. I am not sure they are really NSFW in traditional sense but I can see them being a big "hey I am wasting my time on the internet when I should be working" announcement.
Their being safe for work or not is not a conclusion that can be made definitively. It's an opinion and depends on your work place(DUH!). Where I work, I am the boss. I don't block Internet for anyone and they can visit whatever sites they want.
I hate the ads. Not just because they startle me, but because it's inappropriate for them to blurt audio if am on the phone with a client, or supplier.
My opinion: intrusive, obnoxious, and creating a situation that will have me deliberately avoid their products.
I love TGR.
I've been thinking exactly the same thing. But you should tell them to see powmag forums now--because they pull this shit again and there's a good chance that's what this place will look like. TGR420's responses aren't helpful except in making clear they don't fucking get it, which is even more mystifying than the decision to run the ad in the first place.Quote:

So, what's the backup site this time? Back over to Powdermag.com, or are we still afraid of Daniel?
First company on this list for me.Quote:

Its annoying.
I also dislike the fact that you cannot mix and match outfits on the athletes
Fuck you Oakey:rolleyes2
You'll know when you see them, they're for oakley's "signature series" goggles. I don't know if its just me, but it seems like they are much more likely to pop up later in the evening. Seems like only one in ten or so pages during the day, but nearly every time at night.Quote:

2. TGR does appear to be listening. This thread was moved back to it's original spot. For now at least, the Oakley ads are not running.
3. There is no substitute.
As a result, i just installed some new software on my new computer. the itunes version of re:session will be done downloading in 30 minutes.
Dex... relax man... install adblocker and let your BP go down a few points...
Me too. Shut off my ad blocker in Firefox, tried on IE which is set up to let everything through, and still no dice. Went to Youtube and wasted a bunch of time, then went to Oakley's site. Still no adQuote:

And, how can you hate a product that is pimped by the hottest chick on snow...
I'm not abandoning ship here and didn't say we should (Trackhead's reading difficulties aside), and I was more reluctant than most to leave the last place, but TGR shouldn't assume that we're a given around here. That's all.Quote:

Actually I find the Toyota ad more annoying. If it's the sound bothering you how hard is it to turn down your volume until you need it for a vid or something.
Its OK. GET Adblocker and block all ads.
I simply installed an Adblocker and now am not getting any ads on TGR.
That's what you wanted, right TGR? NO ads (ie no revenue from my clicks).
Right?
This thread is pathetic.
Get a life.
I'll add my name to the list of people who thought the ads were a ridiculous demonstration of poor judgment.
Nice job, Oakley. Way to step on your own dick.
Those guys @ TGR, such morons.
Taking money from advertising to help thier company.
God damn you TGR! Get a grip!
Stay hawdkore yo!
Who really give a fuck. It's just an ad for goggles. Care about something that really matters.
reminds me of the NIMBY wierdos that complain about too many billboards in NYCQuote:

Oakley products - some of their optics rock :)
The Oakley ad campaign is asinine, they should feel embarassed. Who pitched this ad? Who approved this pile of shit? :mad:
The biggest question I have about this whole dealio is that you (TGR420) state: "We id [sic] not see the creative prior to the campaign ... ", do you guys typically accept ad copy without viewing it first?
Maybe you guys could get together and write a letter to Oakley explaining how their ad campaign deeply hurt all your feelings.
just installed firefox + adblock
wow, firefox has a built in spellcheck?! cool
Get back to work instead of surfing TGR, JONGS.
Obnoxious Oakley oration
Turbulent Teton tantrums telecast
Butthurt bitching, Boycotts?
Smith super smoove
NYC has too many billboards. Fortunately, they're illegal here. just got back from skiing, i'll take care of that other thing later.Quote:

As for the ads, I don'see or hear them, so I have no idea was the ruckus is about.
Carry on!
I think Chrome might block them cause I haven't seen a thing.
i never said piss!Quote:

i thought i would be able to escape these adds over here, as they have gotten very annoying on ns, but i was poorly mistaken :/
Just Kidding It's fine.
Skipped to the end after reading the first two pages...
Why the fuck are you guys looking at TGR at work? Shouldn't you be...WORKING? Does your compooter have a volume control? Are you that redundant at your place of employment that you have time to fuck off on the intraweb? Fuck...:cool:
