Insert Title Here RPG Wokedex Codex Year of the Donut I'm very into cock and ball torture
There are some new talking ads that are really loud, but Google Chrome doesn't let me capture their exact links, so if someone could figure out what they are I'd be grateful so they can maybe be removed.

One goes:

"Welcome, you have been selected for a free mystery gift!" spoken by a drugged nine-year old girl yelling into the microphone as loud as she can, and another is the good old "You have been selected for a free (something else than that mystery gift from before)."

and I've been getting a lot of ads for Furcadia since Jasede has come back; is there any way to stop the evil adware people from reading his yiffster tag?

Jasede, I'll get those removed, they sound familiar... let me know if you still see any tomorrow. Better yet, make screenshots.

I just saw, nay, heard a really annoying flashing ad banner with sound. Here's where it went:
Code:

I've been seeing TONS of talking advertisements lately, mostly those annoying ass interactive ones. You are really slacking off, Taluntain :mad:

I'm getting only classy ads: Lloyds TSB and Javari Shoes&Handbags on this page, for example. :incline:

You've got me - I haven't had the time to go through them and weed out the more annoying ones in a while. It's on my short-term to-do.

2. It doesn't lead to any URL. It's a telly-style ad of Nurofen.
3. Non-user-initiated audio.

1. Buy Nurofen.
2. When ad appears, use Nurofen to alleviate headache of receiving Nurofen ad.
3. Profit. Jim Profit.

If it helps things, I'm perfectly happy with the ads I see. Mostly browser games, and, recently, animu ads started.

I keep getting a talking ad for Finish dishwasher.

1. I didn't get to take a picture. The video ended. I pressed play again and I got a weird acid-trip video, a sequence of non-related images.
2. Doesn't link to anything.
3. Mofo starts talking when I open pages. It's particularly annoying when I open 20 pages or so and I have no idea which one it is in.
