Stupid Ads Rip Off Facebook
Has anybody else noticed the rash of new ads popping up around the net that are basically rip offs of Facebook’s buttons? Take for instance the ad below, which I saw this morning on WWTDD.
What’s up with that? I would link to the company that’s using the ads, but after looking at their site myself, I’ve decided not to subject anybody else to viewing it. Good lord, it’s a horrible site. For starters, the page loads with some annoying teenage girl verbally giving you a stupid sales pitch. And just in case you don’t get the point that a girl is talking to you through your speakers, it has the chick down in the corner of the page moving around as she talks to you. Who the hell comes up with these ideas and thinks they’ll be good for a website? To make the site even more enjoyable, when you try to close it, you’re greeted with a few million popups and warning boxes asking “ARE YOU REALLY SURE YOU WANT TO LEAVE?!” Sites like these are what’s wrong with the Internet.
Oh, wait, I was supposed to be talking about how they’re ripping off Facebook’s buttons to hawk some crappy ringtones. Eh, screw it, the site sucks and don’t bother clicking on their ads. Case closed.
