I don't know about you, but every time I come to this site to log in, I'm treated to a picture of some 20-something who recently "lost [whatever] pounds" and frankly, I don't care to look at this guy anymore. I might not make such a big deal if there were a hot girl next to the guy, but I'm sure Eyes On can advertise something better. Geez.
Anybody else agree?
Similar complaints?
Anything?
I don't see any advertisements because I'm pro at the internet. :smug: Can you post a picture of the one you mean? It sounds kinda amusing.
I don't get any ads either, because I'm just awesome. So you'll have to clarify.. or switch to firefox.
get adblock plus, kills the ads.
I don't get any either. Maybe it's because I automatically log in whenever I go to this site - I think I noticed some ads when using another computer, and thus having to log in manually.
But yes. Ads suck.
that ad is everywhere. It kills my spirit.
It's hilarious! The FATTY! ads are my favourite of all the ads du jour, along with possibly Evony (getting progressively less medieval and more irrelevant, photoshopped and naked lol) and the ~tooth whitening secrets! one. I love how inconsistent and sloppy they all are :jess:
There is no excuse anymore for seeing an unwanted ad more than once on your personal computer.
With the exception of stupid flash video's that don't have a block tab. >:[Quote:

This, you can even search by type so it'll be easier to find than just mindlessly scrolling through all objects on the page.Quote:

I like the “become buffed” adds myself. Good use of Photoshop.

...but if I was to change them, I'd change it to this advertisement I found on this site one time where this man with huge eyes, ugly lips, and buck teeth was all "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" The advertisement likely wouldn't work, but I'm sure it'd get a lot of laughs.
Here it is:Quote:

You only see it if you aren't logged in though.
Never seen those ads.. Hmmm how funny..... Anyhow I sometimes gotta wonder if some of these suppose weight loss people took a lil stomach stapling during the course of their supposed dieting..
I see the same add...and my self esteem dies a bit everytime ;~;
That's totally not the same person! Losing that much weight doesn't suddenly give you style, the ability to style your hair, and a tan! And the faces look sooo different. xDQuote:

I can hold a pencil between my pecs now!
I'm not trying to say it is the same person, but losing weight would give a boost of self-confidence. Skinnier people have an easier time picking out clothes and would probably be more inclined to go to the beach.Quote:

I see the one with the long hair blond dude every time before I log on. I'm tired of seeing him before AND after.
I'm just tired of seeing the same picture each and every time. I want the old days back where there was some randomly generated ad that appeared every time I visited. That would be preferrable, believe you me.
People want to be fat? I guess I've heard of this. Idiots trying to set world records or some such nonsense. But usually, in reference to people I've known, they don't want to be fat. It's just something that happens due to poor diet (including drugs and alcohol) and lack of exercise (the risk increases when obesity is in the genes).Quote:

Wait, people want to be fat? Bull:bou::bou::bou::bou:.
If EoFF started to offer dates with EoFFers it would make so much money it wouldn't need any other advertisements.
I'm just saying.

I agree with Rye on it not being the same chick at all. However, I disagree NCG with the whole skinny people have an easier time of getting clothes. Ok so I'm not toned up (though I need to work on this) but neither am I a fatty, I have a 32" waist which at almost 6' tall is perfectly normal. Whenever I go to buy jeans I always find the 32" waist size have sold out and all I can find are fatty clothes.Quote:

If they didn't want to be fat then they would make better choices, such as not having a poor diet and actually exercising. A lot of fat people say they don't want to be fat, but if they continue to choose to live as a fat person then they must want to be fat.Quote:

And even then I wouldn't call them a fat freak or demand they change their lifestyle, I would just want them to find a way to get the smurf on their side of the armrest. I don't think that them being in your line of sight is justification for ridicule though.
Your restraint is admirable.Quote:

I only see those ads when I visit the site at a friend's house, either to show them a funny thread or just see how things are going. I find the blond guy particularly funny. It's like in the first picture, they just asked him to expand his belly a little bit and frown, and in the second picture, they asked him to flex his abs and smile. :p
