So Are We All Seeing The Same Ads?
Pink Floyd?

or have they figured out how to infest our pc's with what we like?

do they think all DU'ers are Pink Floyd fans?

I'm ambivalent about this, but I could get used to it.

I'm a little angry at Google, however I still use Google.

5. I don't like how they've made the posts more squshy and squatty
but ads are randomly trolled. They (Google)pick up the content and display the best of what they have avail.

10. Try and experiment
Something else other than PF. The more they are talked about, the more you will see them.

I wonder what keywords will conjur up porn links?

11. All I see is Pink Floyd, which is very pleasant to me
All my favorite Pink Floyd songs are going through my head.

The only downside to me so far is that I think no one's replied to a thread when actually there are a lot of replies and so I say what someone else did.

12. Hey Republicans!
I just saw one that asks Republicans if they are happy being Republicans. Perhaps they should go post that ad on FR.

20. I really DISLIKE the ads
I have given regularly when the quarterly drives were held--even during periods of unemployment, largely out of wanting to keep DU from going this route. I know that skinner, et al are trying to be sensitive and work through this. I wish them luck. And I hope they don't become too beholden to google- or any sponsor. (Why is this sounding like a campaign financing argument????????)

29. Same here...
the timing doesn't help, either: supporting and stickies and all was a nice idea a fortnight ago, and I gave again quite happily.

Now all that's gone, fuggedaboutit, never happened.

23. Are we seeing the same thread?
Same replies, same other users... the future is
a DU that has no common face, politics without a common,
and new evolutions of corporatism to degenerate a community near you.

25. ads? what ads? where?
I'm not seeing anything but I don't expect to see any ads. And that's not because I'm turning a Nelsonian eye and saying "I see no ships".

some surfers will know what I mean...

26. I think it's pretty funny
Edited on Thu May-25-06 05:00 PM by theHandpuppet
You're as likely to find Pink Floyd in our home as you are an autographed pic of Fats Limbaugh. Now, the Emma Peel DVD boxed set or the Patsy Cline set or Three Mo' Tenors -- yeah, we've got those. :smoke:

27. I saw tons of Pink FLoyd before I turned them off.
And I've never downloaded a tune, or listened to a Floyd song voluntarily.
