Right click on picture in ad box.
Left click on view image info
check box that says block images from outbrain.com If I find a way to block the whole thing I will post it

It was bad enough on the bottom of the page

We are the 99% OCCUPY THE CNFORUM
:eek:


Thank you, sir. I found 'my funny fake out panties' and Kim Kardashian's wrinkly, pimply, lumpy @$$ distracting.

Outbrain, huh? and the relevance to a 90% male audience for these products which seem to skew largely female is what?

outBRAIN, indeed. Lostbrain.com I guess was already taken. Click thru rates must be skyrocketing for the jerkoff's throwng money at these clowns.

Earth to Krebs...this is essentially spam, regardless of the origin. Or has your brain been hijacked?!

you may know somebody in a similar
situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a
situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into
the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get
anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if
one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and
they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
they may think they're both ******s and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement

Makes perfect sense to me.
But then some may think I'm crazy.
 
Odd. Now I am getting mostly cable TV ads at the top of my screen , I understand that, but on the side instead of cycling stuff there are ads for leather moto clothing and insurance.?? big change :confused:
...and stainless steel braided hoses....

@krebs...
"You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant---'cept Alice!" :D

Disappointed in the lack of response from those higher up in the site's management. I'm not talking about the mod's, but people like Daniel Benson.

I went to look on the main site. Besides looking like a hobo Benson's title is "Managing editor" in charge of the sites coverage. I doubt he has anything to do with advertising.

It appears these links are some form of advertising (Kim K's A$$ is advertising?) so I think the people to talk to would be the advertising group.

Steve Hulbert
Advertising Sales Manager - Online
Steve.Hulbert@futurenet.com

I would also copy advertising@cyclingnews.com

Perhaps if we sent a nice, rational note to these contacts we can get them to get this infection off the board.

I will keep digging, may find more
 
Thanx RR.
If CN wants to keep us all as a band of 'merry men/women' then I believe they should respect their loyal client base.
Is it possible that it is a virus or outside the realm of CN and therefore out of their control at this point?

edit: according to my son it is becoming increasingly common for these ads to show up in forum threads. unfortunately...
maybe if enough revolted..

I would like to point out that this targetted advertisment is in no way based on my browsing history!

Seriously CN, I know the dating ads bring more ppc than others, but its really not hard to log onto your adsense account and stop cheap dating ads from appearing.. Im now being offered Sexy Russians, which admittedly is a step up from the available mature woman in the previous one.

Haha.. She looks nice!
:eek:

Finally saw the back of that ****ing annoying flashing red Bont add featuring Hushovd after squishing it several times and only to see the damn thing keep coming back. Addblock for Opera seemed to get rid of it for good though.

Let's not have any discrimination here against "mature" women..... not that I am one, no, of course not......

Susan

im not.. im offended by googles assumption that i have reached that age where I would want to date a woman that mature.. :D

If I wasnt married, I would be firmly in the middle of the age bracket that still thinks that letching over 20 something females is a worthwhile pursuit, and thinking that if you buy them a few drinks you have a chance. Im a good ten years away from the age when reality sets in, and probably 15 years away from accepting the the delightful lady in the photo is the best your gonna get..

I stopped letching at young ladies when my daughter became the same age as them.

When I am that mature, if I find myself alone and lonely, this particular example is not in the running.

For anything.

She looks like she was the subject of an episode of Snapped. 'What are all these life insurance policies taken out on me with you listed as beneficiary? And why does this gatorade taste funny?'

Good god, have you never heard of a joke? That was more a joke against myself than anyone or anything else.

Should I have used a half-dozen "smilies" to show how young and with-it I am?

Now, now, young lady. Let's not have that sarcastic tone here!

I totally stole Susan's modhat...

As for the ads. Well... I have been tempted to click on some of them, then I thought the better of it. Those pesky ads shall not lure me in!
I am the mighty Ginger Viking!
