You guys do notice the awkward ads we get, right?

Like.. I just got one about cheap calls to Saudi Arabia, that sparked the interest of making this thread.. and after I clicked New Topic, I got another one asking "May we pray for you?"

Lol..

I'm speaking of the Banners, of course - not pop ups. Yet, still, I find this to be quite amazing.. the odd hilarity and irony in most of the banners.

I use adblocker on Mozilla Firefox, but yeah, I get a lot of the Saudi Arabia ones when I'm on my iPod or another browser.

I find the ads amusing, to a point where it'd be odd if I couldn't see them.

I think the funniest one I've seen was a Japanese Singles Site.

I get Ghana dating sites and "reunite with your classmates in Ghana" ones. But now I am getting South American related ones, and fantasy RP sites.

Nationality ads seem to be common.

I guess it has to do with the forum dealing with nations.

When there is a thread made by Sel, like 90% of the time theres an ad for "Meet Israeli women today". It sorta goes the same way for other Middle-Eastern and Asian nations in 21c...

Though the funniest I got was something about botox for your abs? (I can't remember the whole thing now, actually)

Wikipedia explaining the retirement of the Australian Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank from service
Quote:
 
The Leopard 1 was operated by the 1st Armoured Regiment and was officially withdrawn from service in July 2007. Their guns were never fired in anger.


Australian News Source
Quote:
 
"For sale. Used tanks. One careful owner. Never fired a shot in anger. Make an offer."

That's set to be the fate of the Australian army's old but still serviceable Leopard tanks.


Their guns were never fired in anger!?!?! DAMN! I want to buy them...

Rofl.
*A column of AAC Leopard 1's is rolling along a road, when all of the sudden a great kangaroo herd leaps across the road...

Tank commander, "Shit, this could take hours mates..."

Gunner, "Hell no it won't sir!"

*BOOM! The 105mm main gun lets out a cluster shell (that Australia would not use)

"Die you frigatein kangaroos!"

Actually I've not really done much with kangaroos yet. I should probably look into it.

Yeah... if you want annoying Jewish/Israeli related ads, go to jpost.com. It's like the Yahoo!.com of Israel.

But yeah, them crazy ads we get...

I get eRepulik ads a lot, which was actually a fairly entertaining game in the time I was involved in it.

Not even lying. When I was Bhutan, I got one that said

"Living in Bhutan? Get laid tonite!!!"

So of course I clicked it :), but I was expecting it to be like AdultFriendFinder or something like that. But it was an actual Bhutanese Personals site. It was hysterical. Only like 3 people in Bhutan own computers pahaha
