Warning: Gruesome Video Footage---on the Latest Discussions Thread page. |
|
Edited on Sun Oct-03-10 10:51 PM by Sheepshank
"Graphic video shows why everyone would be vegetarian if slaughterhouses had glass walls".
two questions: 1. Why is this ad consistently on that page of this political web site; and 2. Has anyone watched the video?
eta: I like my meat, beef, poultry, fish, liver, eggs, milk, cheese, steak & kidney pie, liverwurst, salami etc....I don't like people trying to get me to stop.

3. It's an ad. Don't look at it, if it offends you. |
|
Ads are the result of someone paying DU for that privilege. The site requires revenues. Unless you want to pay a membership fee, ads are part of life here. Don't look at the ones you don't like.
I love eating meat, and will continue to do so. I've never noticed the ad of which you complain, and even if I had, I wouldn't care.

8. The answer to annoying ads is to stop looking at them. |

Doctor, it hurts when I do this.
Then don't do that.
If you think about, such advertising as Palin's makes sense. There are a healthy number of Republicans who read the site. Advertising doesn't have to be aimed at the main demographic of a site.
The only thing I care about the advertising is that DU reap maximum dollars for its ad space.

10. I thought you didn't like it because you don't want to be preached to. |
|
I don't care about being preached to about meat eating, either, so I ignore sources of such lectures.

13. I edited the op and added the meat lovers line |
|
because it occurred to me that some may think I'm some sort of PETA'ish type and was trying to herd (excuse the pun) people toward the ad. I guess I'm a little jumpy at how people tend to read things into a simple question that was never really intended....and look, it still happened lol

9. The best way not to see ads is to use Firefox and add the |
|
extension called AdBlock Plus. I never see ads and I like it that way.

18. It blocks almost everything and is easily switched on or off. |

Edited on Sun Oct-03-10 11:27 PM by HCE SuiGeneris
Select the blocking configuration for the USA if that is where you live (I use EasyList English). There are various "filters" to select from. Some helpful instructions: http://adblockplus.org/en/getting_started

16. We get lots of stupid ads, like "Obamacare", "save tax cuts for the rich", etc... |
|
That's part of what brings DU cash.
I click on them periodically.

He makes an argument for vegetarianism.

19. Awwww..."like" and "don't like" trump all. |
|
It's nice that it is all about you, ain't it?
I love DU. If someone posted about how much they liked driving their H2 and how they liked profiting off wiping out the Amazon...
Nevermind.
