Michael_Molnar Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 I want to voice my indignation over these MN ads.
apartmentluthier Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 Michael, I think the ads shown are related to your surfing habits. Try searching for "tone wood" instead of just wood.
bmccarthy Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 Oh, you caught me. Shouldn't that be . . . . Oh, you caught me
Kallie Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 I would suggest, to those who have not already, to download the quick addon Adblock Plus. No more ads, pop ups, or annoying Youtube ads. Just google "Adblock Plus" and you should find the addon there.
Carl Stross Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 I want to voice my indignation over these MN ads. No. Some are pretty and some may be astronomers.
Oded Kishony Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 No. Some are pretty and some may be astronomers. I though they were all stars or at least astronomical. OK
Michael_Molnar Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Posted February 27, 2014 You guys are relentless.
Violadamore Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 Funny you're getting "female" instead of "girl" or "woman". You didn't get these links from someone in Ann Arbor, did you?
skiingfiddler Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 Surfing habits have nothing to do with it. Some smart packager of advertising read a thread or two and decided that people who post here could use a bit of sparkle in their social lives.
Bill Yacey Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 If I wasn't married, I would place a personal add here: Looking for female with strong arms for splitting wood, must be good at gouging, enjoy cooking various resins and oils. Gardening knowledge is a definite asset, specifically in the cultivation of weld, madder and equisetum. I enjoy quiet times in the shop; the ability to speak any language at all isn't required. Highly un-opinionated individuals will have preferred consideration .
Jeffrey Holmes Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 I want to voice my indignation over these MN ads. Yeah... I'm not a fan either... but I imagine they help raise funds to keep the board going.

Oded Kishony Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 When Borat is speaking fake Khazakh he often uses Hebrew words, even as he's spewing anti Semitic garbage. Funny in a very disturbing way. OK

Funny in a very disturbing way. OK That's not in good taste for sure but maybe Sasha Cohen ( Borat ) does it for historical reasons having to do with the former USSR.
BassClef Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 I just read the OP and not the comments yet but I am also perturbed that all of my ads relate to Martin Swan Violins and websites offering services for men to meet other men.
martin swan Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 BassClef, the distress you are feeling is perfectly normal as you begin to understand the way you differ from those around you. However, Martin Swan Violins can only help and encourage you to acknowledge those feelings - if you are suffering from excessive perturbation I recommend seeking the help of a professional therapist.
Rue Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 Thankfully I am saved from offers to meet women...but I'm getting Poker and gambling ads...activities which I don't engage in either...
Addie Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 I think apartmentluthier must be right... all my ads are for college loans and music study...
Rue Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 ...then I should be getting ads that suggest I purchase a "How to Understand the Vagaries of the Violin Industry" guide...and I'm not...
duane88 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 if we stopped talking about g-strings and f-holes and bellies and backs, not to mention heads...well...

Martin. don't you worry about BassClef's attitude. Lots of "us" here like you.
BassClef Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 Never mind, just read the thread and this must be related to a back and forth Martin and I were having about reaming buttonholes. Nothing to see here. Carl, I am the CEO of the unofficial Martin Swan fan club so please don't get ahead of yourself my friend. Nothing could be more damaging to my reputation than suggesting I have anything but unbridled admiration for our Scottish comrade.
