When frequenting such reputable websites as Weather.com or Msn.com/Games/ChickenInvaders, I'm always visually attacked by a slaughterhouse of advertisements. These aren't simple little boxes that some of you have on your blogs, but animated neon dancing IN YOUR FACE attacks of the free market. Ah, capitalism.
Now, I don't fault capitalism for this. A capitalist society is what keeps us from being wild animals or Communists, and thus I appreciate it wholeheartedly. But at the point when an ad insists that I could lose 43 lbs in 2 weeks, I become skeptical. No one could lose that much weight so quickly, unless he had a hardcore type of liposuction or a simple amputation. "Congratulations sir, we successfully lipo'd 30 lbs out of your hips, but came up short and had to remove an arm. You're beautiful now."
I just wonder, when such ridiculous claims are made, what type of computer virus or scam artist is waiting behind the neon lights.

I hate adds that flash. I will navigate away from a page to avoid them, as I think to myself, "One day this add is going to cause someone a massive seizure." Bring on the law suits.
