Daniel,

There is an ad thay frequently runs at the top of Remote Central. I don't even know what it's for because all I ever notice is an incriedible looking woman on the left of the ad on her knees in a thong bikini. But when I click on the ad she is nowhere to be found on the page it jumps me to. I consider this deceptive advertising. Please make your advertiser have some pics of this women on the page I jump to or ban them from the site!

:-)

I'll bet some other forum members will also express displeasure with the ad for similar reasons. How about it guys?

QQQ,

I especially agree....since if you miss her...the next damn thing that pops up says PAINFUL LEARNING CURVE (I think it's a philips book)

It's just frightening really...if you hit it, you get nothing, if you miss it, you get nailed with a painful learning curve

moreover....I for one don't think there should be naked women on our beloved AV sight...what's next...beer ads?

We simply don't do these things in our industry!

OK, here's the ad I'm talking about.


But if you click on the ad you go here:

and the lady on the left is no where to be found.

Nah, the puppy is the way to go. With the car, she thinks you're just another guy with a big ego, with the puppy she thinks you're such a nice guy to have something "so sweet and cuddly"....lol

Of course, if you have her already, then the hell with the puppy or the car....lol

DUDE! You seem to be in the middle of the painful learning curve. At the end of the painful learning curve is the lesson "internet ads are likely to cheat you" and "don't click on internet ads, dummy!"

moreover....I for one don't think there should
be naked women on our beloved AV sight...what's
next...beer ads?

This is another bit of painful learning. As they say in real estate, "position, position, position:" she is not naked, she is just positioned. The naked part is entirely in your head, and you don't even have to click on anything to see it, do you?
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
