Politically Offensive Banner Ads

[Holy Bovine]

I may have some good news for you. I'm going to be replacing the Google ads (well all EN World advertising, actually) with gaming ads from an ad network run by Ed Healy. So this problem should solve itself pretty soon!

That's really cool! How is the SUpporter Drive going anyways? You used to have a little 'barometer' showing how many subscriptions you had on your way to the goal of 1000. How close are you?

Just out of curiosity; do you also get offended and upset and call people to complain when you get political ads during your favorite non-political TV show? Ads are ads. Most people recognize that an ad is merely that and don't mistake it for actual content.

The calls of hypocracy sound pretty shrill (at best) to me.

I'm glad to hear the ads (which I leave on with in community supporter account to support the site) will be switching from Google ads to something more targeted at gamers. Thanks again, Morrus, for always looking out for ways to improve the site.

I started to see ad mentioned in the original post. Since today is Angelboi's birthday, I think I'll turn the ads off for the rest of the day in his memory.

Well, rule from under. The achievers is a questionable addition - could also be by the Mole Men.

Or, if we use it as an actual prefix, what it is is "under-ruled" - the condition of having too much anarchy.

In a hippocracy, there are four branches of government:

Though, honestly, this is all an ironic mistake. He meant to talk about how the internet is really ruled by misunderstandings - a typocracy.
