I clicked on this thread and the Sylvan Learning Center ad is on the left and the top. I don't have children so what is it you guys are trying to tell me?
Whew! I was worried that I was the only one out there that hated those adds. Every time it played I kept waiting for the fark pedo bear to show up and then a guy wants me to take a seat overthere. Those ads were pretty disturbing.
I always feel like I'm missing out when everyone talks about the different ads being shown to them on this site. Here in my neck of the woods, it's Puzzle Pirates 99% of the time.

Aye, I don't remember when I got an ad that wasn't Puzzle Pirates.

I used to get nothing but those too and the last couple of days it's been nothing but those Sylvan ads. But if I had kids, I'm sure I'd be shamed or something.

Yeah, yeah, it means no ads for most of us. However, quite a few people (including myself) have green-lit GWJ as a show of support for the site. I'm coming close to my breaking point with the ads though. Note to advertisers: animated ads just make me angry at you, and thus highly unlikely to buy your product. A tasteful still ad would be much more effective for this particular grouch.

I didn't mind the ads on the old site, but the last time I had them turned on the puzzle pirate dude occupied a couple of inches of banner ad down the side and kept popping out of the damn cannon over and over again. He had to go, man. He had to.

I'm just glad we're not getting any of those cleft palatte organization ads. I feel sorry for those kids, really I do, but that is NOT something you spring on someone without warning.

That smug little bitch at the top is mocking me, I see it behind her malevolent little eyes. "Your daughter will be utterly unprepared for the challenges of life", her wry smile proclaims, "and will spend day after agonizing day in servitude to her Sylvan-prepared superiors! Your apathetic inaction is tacit admission of your failure as a parent and, frankly, as a human. You'd have more positive impact on your child's development if you were ground up and grilled alongside bell peppers and onions and served on a bun. 'Here is your daddy, little girl, who thought so little of you that he daily decided to punish you by withholding your birthright of knowledge.'"
Gee, thanks, GWJ for pointing out my failure in such stark relief.
However, quite a few people (including myself) have green-lit GWJ as a show of support for the site.
I used to do this, but I got tired of seeing a disfigured girl every time I visited, so off the 'good list' GWJ went.
I just try to buy extra raffle tickets each year... although I may have to stop, as I don't want to lose the Weiner Bomb. Maybe I'll make an alias and donate for 'him' instead.
My nine year old comes in to the living room the other night, mad as hell. “What’s up I said”?
“I need a lawyer” he responds.
Actually laughing out loud I say, “You need a, what”?
“A LAYWER!!!” he says almost at a yell.
“Calm down, what for?” I begged
“Because, I have got two free I-Pod Nano’s out there some where, but they are not given em to me!!!!!”

I think they're doing a heck of a job hitting their core demographic.
