Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsJust got a full screen pop-up NRA ad here at DU!
It was an anti -Bloomberg ad, pitching the usual nonsense that he's going to "take away your guns" so you should join the NRA.
I had to close it to get it out of my way.
I guess it's to be expected at a political discussion site, but... I'm logged in! Perhaps my Star Membership has lapsed...
Anyhow, is this from Google ads or what?

(2,886 posts)We would get money for the display, for the click, and, in some cases, if you bought something (or donated) from them. Don't quote me for specifically about DU tho.

(56,582 posts)Or, rather, ad purchasers aren't. They gleaned "interested in US politics" and just bid it out to the first campaign that only specified that.

It's possible you've got some kind of malware attached to your browser.

(12,799 posts)Most seem to be FB-related.
I'll pay more attention to what exactly I'm doing when I see them.
Hmm.

(12,799 posts)... it's big enough to push everything else out of the way.
So, hey, at least it's not a pop-up!
