o Whato s so evil about fake online adverts?o I hear you ask. Well, everything.

Examples:

-o You are the 10,000th visitor! No joke!o Actually Io m a 100% sure it is a joke.

-o Kevin lost 5lb in just 1 week! Find out how!o Io d rather not.

-o Click here to gain 600% more muscle with this legal steroid alternative!o It may be legal but ito s not existent.

-o Dono t try the E-cigarette until you read our shocking report!o The only thing thato s shocking is how dumb you think we are.

And ito s true. Whoever these brainless advert-writers are, they thought we would believe their ridiculous promises and mindless statements. Ito s advertising gone mad. Ito s not just amusingly hopeless, ito s cheap and pathetic. Ito s insulting to all of us.

What annoys me is how it worsens my browsing experience and makes the websites look tacky. Of course, they all paste a sheepish statement below saying, o ads not by this siteo but then, why have spaces for them in the first place? Why not have more content?

I just dono t see how they make money out of them, or why they would want us to suffer. At least get some credible companies to perhaps show us their reliable products. At least that could be useful, and the owners of the website could retain some dignity.

Not to mention that I dono t want to be given false hope. I mean, Io m not exactly poor, obese or ageing, but I still dono t like being told that you can achieve perfection and wealth so easily. Annoyingly, even when I see that o You are the 10,000th visitoro sign, I still get a brief feeling of hope, a butterfly in my stomach. Just for a second.

What I also dono t want to see is a Susan Boyle look-alike peeling dirty cling film off her sunken, shrivelled face. If you haveno t seen that one yet, count yourself lucky.

Overall, I remain hopeful that these things will disappear someday. Either that or the advertisers just make them a tiny bit more believable and intelligent. Is that too much to ask? Dono t we already have to go through the hell inflicted on us by lag and slowness?

I just cano t take any more of them. I dono t know what Io d do if they started to spread and appeared in the corners of mobile apps and games. No. Thato s too dreadful to think about. They have to go. They have to go now.

Most (I think almost all) sites uses a system that randomly picks advertisements, and also chooses advertisements based on your google searching, sites don't choose advertisements, and if they had more content than advertisements the site would be shut down from not having any money to pay for it.
Although I do agree, fake advertisements are quite ridiculous and have gotten me nothing but a Trojan virus. Also, they make these ridiculous advertisements because, shockingly a lot of us are idiotic enough to believe it, or are little kids not knowing what the hell your doing. Good review though :)

Seriously, Caroles crochet and bebop's ads are the only good ones on the site.

And that's why I use AdBlock Plus.

Also, I hate those ads on iPhone games about these "Slots" things.
