Darn... I keep giving dollars to DU by mistake.

Yes, I accidentally click on ads every once in a while.

Then I realized that DU might get money from that.

I think I accidentally clicked on a Dominos ad and one from Freedom Works the other day.

I guess when they are on the page, an accidental mouse over or click happens from time to time.

1. The ads you are seeing are autogenerated...

and are pulled from your cookies when you aren't signed in to DU. So basically, your ads are geared to what you've been surfing.

2. Funny, I never go to those sites. I do find the ads to be topic oriented based on the threads here.

I also have anti-spyware and cookie cleaning products that manage my desktop.

I did a full cleaning hours ago. So it isn't cookie-based.

3. I love the idea of those organizations and companies paying to keep DU going, but cannot bring

myself to allow that filth on my computer.

4. If you bought a star, the ads would disappear...

6. And, then. . .

you would be giving money to DU on purpose.

7. Exactly!

10. Then you lose on the ability to accidentally have opposing companies inadvertently fund DU.

9. But what about Benghazi? nt

8. It's especially fun when they show up on gravedancing threads

due to the frequent references to "pizza".

Maybe if I mention pizza enough here, I can get Domino's to give DU some more money.
