Reminded me to re-download Adblock Plus... nothing worse than embedded sounds in websites. Thought that lesson was learned back when everyone and his dog had a Geocities site...
srsly
Ads with audio for the lose...
cross posted from tahoe conditions thread
that makes two people that have mentioned ad blockers and neither saw the other first.Quote:
[rant]that talking oakley signature series ad is fucking annoying. it makes me want to get an ad blocker and my living comes from internet advertising. please kill it before it kills the interwebz!!!
and while we're at it, the undo button simply removes everything from your post. There is no actual undo function to it. The redo button does absolutely nothing at all.[/rant]
LOSE THE AD!!! Your shooting yourself (and me) in the foot.
SEARCH FUNCTION JONG!!!!!!! ;)

Yeah, I posted a thread about it months ago. Fucking annoying. If it's some kinda stupid joke, it's time has passed.
You can always just not buy Oakley products ever again. That's what I'm doing.....
there's no place like 0.0.0.0...
use a hosts file and send the fuckers to /dev/null

better than adblock, because it works with all your browsers, and email, and any other connection ur computer tries to make
QUIT BITCHING YOU PUSSIES. THE SUIT NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES. NOW STFD&STFU!!!!!!!!!
i have to tell Mrs Poundkey that about 4 times/day
but a quick slapchop shuts her up for a few minutes, and gets her in the mood for another round of poopenhausen
she says denying it to you keeps you interested and spending ur $$
Kill it kill it kill it kill it kill it. Please, just kill it.
Holy fuck this is annoying!
bump to the top
ads with sound are not cool. not cool.
very fucking obnoxious. It makes me want to punch the monitor every time I accidentally let my mouse touch it.
I will never EVER buy oakley gear because of this ad campaign of theirs.
BOYCOTT OAKLEY PRODUCTS, THEY ARE SHIT ANYWAY!!!!!!
I have had "something oakley" on my eyes for 20 years running. I've always had 2 pairs of goggles and 2 pairs of sunglasses. Even when I was a dealer for other brands I still went and bought oakley stuff at another shop out of brand loyalty.
Smith is looking better and better to me every time that ridiculous bullshit talks shit at me when I mouse over it.
get it? is anybody paying attention over there?
You know what's annoying? People who bitch about ads when there are multiple simple solutions to your problem.
it's oakley's problem.Quote:

The Oakley ads are lame and annoying. They make everyone involved look stupid.
In the meantime, Smith has a motion ad in the right hand side bar of some dude jumping of some rock and laying some big turns. You can see the tips of his skis flap.
Smith 1
Oakley 0
just moused over one in the middle of class. instructor is lecturing away on surpac, and my computer screams out "I look like an asshole!"
can't install anything onto the school computers. ditch the adds. give them a deal on one that doesn't make noise
Maybe you should either not surf the web while you are paying for an education or at least turn your speakers off. Again, a simple solution for stupid people.
yeah maybe...
or maybe the ads that blast you with shit-talking when you mouse over them are too much for a site like this?
You being one of them? Regardless of where you surf from (home, work, school, etc) they are annoying and intrusive. In some of those situations, simply turning off your speakers would compromise other necessities of internet usage.Quote:

So TGR should stop allowing one of their sponsors to post up the ads they choose because you are annoyed? Gotcha! Didn't realize they had to bow down to you. Look, don't try and argue that point. Just leave, you won't be missed. Problem solved!
No, I think I will argue this point. TGR hosts these ads for their sponsors because why? Because TGR has a shitload of members/users that the sponsor is attempting to solicit to. If the targets of the solicitation find them annoying as hell, then those solicitations are probably not effective, are they? Obviously, if multiple threads are being created to remove the ads, here, in the padded room, etc, it is not just me who is annoyed.Quote:

Get off your donkey Advres. I don't think Oakley or TGR for that matter would appreciate you telling members of their targeted audience to leave. Even as a former admin stripped of your power, you're out of line here, I hope even a senseless moron like yourself can see that.
I sent them an e-mail. I'll let you know what they respond with.
When was I stripped of my admin privileges? And until I hear differently I have every right to voice my opinion, just like you do.Quote:

I think I see your point, nobody here is going to bully TGR into dicking around with their advertisers and revenue. I'm totally cool with that, but it's beside the point.
I can't imagine what kind of retard designed that dumbass shit.
I bet everyone at Smith is laughing their ass off at this train wreck.
These adds are similar to NSFW thread which are not labeled as such. People can get busted surfing the forum at work or school because of them. I might be cool with them IF they were funny, but they are very far that. I almost feel sorry for Oakley for spending money on such a retarded add campaign. But instead I will not purchase any of their products and I will not advise anyone else to buy their products.
At first I thought these adds were some lame short term joke that would go soon away but they've been there for about a month now and I think people are getting pissed.
I do PR and marketing.
This campaign is so bad, it doesn't even hit the 'well, dude, check it out, they are talking about it!' mark.
It is just awful.
Buh-bye, Oakley, this is FAIL
Am I the one that really likes these ads? (Of course I can't hear them, because I rock out to Lady Gaga and Flo-rida on my Oakley thumps 24/7).

Oh yeah.
Advers: re "turn your speakers off you stupid fucking jong"
99.99% of computers in school don't have speakers on them. there were a few of us who found out that the ones in this lab do. Not only that, but the only on / off control for them is a button on the keyboard, which has no indicator as to weather or not they are on. no icon near the clock to adjust their volume either. probably the stupidest thing Dell has ever put into a computer. basically, you have no way to know if they are on untill seth starts screaming at you.
Oakley, if you are listening, ditch the stupid fucking adds. enough is enough already.
"Iceman skis in jeans" is soooooo 2009.
Advres skis in Oakleys.
advres snowboards in 686. :DQuote:

And yet advres is encouraging us to do things like install adblockers, which is generally not something that advertisers like. There's some irony in there or something.Quote:
