Yesterday I was surfing around when I saw a banner ad with a message that was just too good not to share. It said, I kid you not,
"Compare Prices On Deadly Sins."
I didn't click there, but it's fun to think about. "Let's go shop for envy, or maybe some wrath! There's a big sale on avarice today!"
What's the weirdest web ad you've ever seen, banner or popup?

I'm not sure... I've had some really ODD ones... I just can't think of any at the moment, sorry.

I saw one on this site... It was a Yahoo! Shopping Ad, advertising muffins... Who the heck buys muffins over Yahoo?

Oh my god, I used to have the BEST AD. It was off of an oekaki board, it was this banner ad with a lawn gnome on a pastel pink background with some crazy Japanese writing on it with lots of exclamation points. If I ever find it again it's totally becoming my new signature.

the scariest one I ever got was in my e-mail and it was like GET YOUR headphones ENLARGED! nd I was scarred for life. I laugh in the face of your third-rate spam. Behold, a small selection from my 66 junk emails:

My mom got a spam that read "turn your headphones into a monster" Why would anyone with the revelant appendage want that? Luna, that screenshot was hilarious! Football team creampuffs, indeed. And what's that thing about gaining one to four "1nches"? I have a hunch.....*Shudders to think*.

That's what StocksJournal sounds like, certainly.
I just saw an animated banner ad that had these bugs crawling across it, and it said "Smash A Beatle To Win A Camcorder!". Yup, smash a rock singer from that band your parents love. Nasty!

I've had several offering to tell me my IQ...the ones at the top of the page creeped me out for a while...
"Check this out Sea!...."

Were the IQ ones really small and did they have an orange background and a picture of Einstein?

I got that I.Q. one! I was so bored I actually did it. Can't remeber what I got though. I never get the porn ones. Lucky me!

I've never gotten pop-ups here, and I think it's because of my blocker. However, I do get those unnerving banner ads that adress me. There's one right now. "Hey Tocuna V. F. Dante! Do you want to win a free computer?". And it has my name in bold letters as if to say "Look and be amazed! I know your screenname!".
