Seems like YouTube is flooded with Romney ads today.

[Akoto]

I have been getting them with every friggin' video (and these were about games, not politics), the sort that you can't choose to skip after a few seconds.

They're starting again on the Solyndra crap. Stereotypical deep-voice-guy-in-greasy-work-clothes informs us that Solyndra went bankrupt, that its president gave Obama a donation. Caps it all off by telling PO to stop giving bailouts for political favors, which I actually think ventures into the slander realm, since it kinda accuses him of money laundering.

Then, there was one with pictures of PO and Pelosi, and it basically said something about him and his "liberal allies" harming the middle class. I can't fully detail because, if I couldn't skip it, I had to mute it.

Lastly, we had one with Romney himself! The usual plastic, trying-too-hard-to-be-sincere Romney. He was telling us about his big plan to create 12 million jobs! Strangely, I missed the parts where he explained how he'd actually make each point functional and fundable. The video must have been glitchy. Yeah, that's it.

No more YouTube for today. Oy.

1. bad strategy for them

Id guess that most people just get annoyed when they have to watch a stupid political ad before a youtube video....waste of money in my opinion

2. Facebook also. I have 2 friends who are Romney supporters and everytime I check in there

is notification that my 2 friends are voting for Romney. I have tried to hide then but they keep popping up. Today I put in the tea bad racism cartoon on my page and wrote how Romney is stirring up racism in this country to further his electoral chances and it is despicable.

5. Got one that really pissed me off. Some band called "rayburn" with a shot of the SLC Temple.

yes, OVERTLY mormon video of "rayburn" with "keep the change," which is a horrible Anti-Obama song. The first line is "you have your hands in all our pockets." REally? because taxes were cut for the middle class several times.. as well as small businesses.. The Mormons are working overtime with their backroom donations to Romney, thru shit like that.

Make no mistake they make a VERY obviou shot of the Mormon Temple in SLC at the beginning of the video.

7. AdBlock+ is your Friend - I have NEVER seen a single ad on YouTube in my Life!

Their provided list automatically blocks all ads in videos and on-screen from most sites. So no need to customize anything. Just add the plugin into Firefox/Safari/Chrome and you're done (Firefox's plugin is the best though). I rarely see an ad anywhere..and that includes here on DU too.

8. Just installed this for my Mac, and it definitely works!

I was so happy that there are no more YouTube ads that I was jumping up and down in my room. Thanks for sharing!
