Google misses its target demographic with this EN World ad

[Lifesupport]

I spotted this ad a while ago on EN World. I found it somewhat amusing at the time.

I've seen the ad before but didn't pay much attention to it. All I see now is the annoying Keep on the Shadowfell. It seems to be encroaching on the screen. I'm waiting for it frame the threads on all 4 sides.:\

Even worse, Morris considers it stealing if you turn on your ad blocker and visit this site.

That's an interesting way to look at it. I guess in a way it could be.

That's like saying fast forwarding through the commercials of a recorded TV program is stealing.

Verdict: SILLY

I think people have to grow up and recognise that not watching ads is not stealing. It is denying people revenue. Which is not stealing.

But in this world of google micropayments, the impact on the service provider may have the same impact as stealing. Loss of money/income. Which is said service privders people take it seriously.

I don't mind ads on EN World, but WotC's animated ad is distracting as all get out.

Yes, WotC adds are starting to get annoying... there needs to be a button. I have bought this product | I wil not by this product go away.

Just to clarify, so that people aren't confused (I know that you spelled Michael's last name correctly, but I also know that people often confuse Morrus and Morris) - Morrus didn't say that, Michael did.

Michael Morris, not Moruss.
