I was just surfing VGF and an acquaintance of mine glanced at my computer monitor and seen this picture. She scolded me in ignorance, and any protests from me just cemented her image of me as a pervert.
Kind of annoying, and btw, wtf? Who created that service? It seems retarded.

I can relate. My parents once threw away one of my magazines because it had an ad with a naked (albeit blurry and censored) woman in it.

I can react pretty strongly to these.
I was playing 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, and I was in a room with a medical mannequin. My friend looked over and asked if I was playing a porn game. I flipped out, not understanding that it was a joke.

I want to pay girls to play video games with me. I am not shamed about this at all.
I'd rather vent about the fact this Game Crush thing exists.

These ads are often tailored based on browsing history. And clearly, since you have visited a videogame website, your only chance of ever speaking with a female again is if you pay these people.

Yes, smart ads. Now, because you posted that image and I viewed this thread, that ad appears at the top of this page even as I type.
Although, I must admit, video games and girls are very high on my list of interests.

The ads reflect both the content of the actual website you are visiting (that's why Loot has gotten the gay dating site, it came up a lot when we were discussing gay rights in the past), and personal browsing history.

Like my ads generally end up being about music, video games, or the occasional "MEET HOT GOTH/EMO CHICKS" (possibly because of my liking of emo music)
and that's the waaaaaaaaaay the news goes

That's strange. I haven't seen any ads about Asian women or hermaphrodites yet.

I'm still not sure why Yahoo! showed me a video ad for menstrual pads ... in front of the trailer for Max Payne.
I'm not the target market here O_o
Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?

For when the bleeding just
won't stop. *commences unnecessary and fully disturbing bullettime sequence of changing pads*
BTW, IRHP, if you could tell your acquaintence that I said her thought process is as well grounded in logic as the good year blimp, I'd appreciate that, thanks.

I don't really know i have *******er on most sites, though i have to say that i turned it of once due to a flash script error and the banner that came up...... let's just say that it was intended to make the user to Came in the end, to bad it did a bad job doing what it was supposed to do.
Ohh and i got recomended to travel to LaManga when i was discussing anime some time ago!
Beep Boop absolutely not a bot!

I currently have ads for... uh, bank accounts/credit cards on one end, and some "hey small business owner, win this stuff" on the other.
Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself.
