I've heard from online comic book/RPG fanboys who are offended by GoDaddy's assumption that if it shows them a hot woman stripping, they'll choose its service without factoring in price, reliability, and suitability for their needs.

They'll still watch the ads, but they aren't effective in getting them to spend any money. Perhaps that line of advertising would have better luck if applied to selling swimsuit calendars.

Mine is mostly adsense. Which is funny given the wacky tangents that some of my emails take. Because I go off on tangents like it's an Olympic sport. The ads are like Mad Libs. But it's cute.

I'd like to not shun them entirely but get them to rethink their positions. In a "I am one person but a lot of one persons can count" way.

A lot of people have tried to get them to rethink their positions - on sexism, on big-game hunting for sport, on internet censorship, on having a business model based entirely on getting you to accidentally sign up for services you don't want or need, on massive usability fails, on encouraging land-grabby speculation markets in domains, on unreliable service, on boneheaded security issues built into the core of their service design ... they really don't give a shit that you want them to rethink their positions.

I don't even have a Gmail account, and all the ads I see seem to be based on my most recent searches and site visits.

Oh. Then forget them.

I don't love advertisers supplementing my sport that much. If you don't listen, I won't give you eyes or care. They can .. forget .. off. But with the real eff word instead.

I support them that support racing but only when they aren't flashing their ass rashes.

I getcha. When your sport doesn't get basketball and football levels of attention, you want the support it gets to be worth supporting right back.

And it really doesn't get that level of support. It never will. Racing is crazy unsupported because it's so niche. I get that and am okay with it. I even totally accept that the money is where the money is. But I want my bits of support to matter. Not be something that gives me creepy shivers.

The Hinche for homepage is adorable but I am not sideways supporting Danica in a bikini to make it happen. It's creepy.

Yeah, those cookies are being shoved across lots of vendors. You just need to be accepting cookies, not using a given service.
