I can think of one really cheap solution. Stop watching commercial TV. The content is paid for by the ads. Nothing is free.

I believe Cyrus was referring to ads on PF.

I don't get ads on PF. Maybe he should go gold... Nothing is free.

Yeah, I've seen the up-close teeth/braces ad too on another site where I can't control whether or not I see ads. A handful of ads seem to be everywhere these days. I'm glad I can control them here.

I pay 4c per day for the privilege of not seeing ads and keeping our fearless leader Greg out of trouble.

OK, my fingers are tired, but you get the point.

Go gold and help support a valuable resource.

Its amazing how the adds follow the threads. If I am in PF main, the ads are about physics tutoring. If I am in the aerospace forum, the ads are about airplanes. When I was in the cats vs dog thread, there was an Ad for cats!

Because those’re 'Google' ADs.

Cough up a few bucks, Cy! For the price of one drink in your airport-theme bar, you can be ad free for a year.

Maybe we should start a thread for Cyrus. Only beautiful olive-skinned, brown-eyed, brunette females with NO piercings or tattoos would be allowed to post there.

Never mind. Policing that would be tough. We'd probably get Jersey Shore posters, or cougars who are real fans of white patent-leather shoes. Messy, either way. :tongue:

That would be hilarious. I want to see screenshots if it works.

:rofl: Though, maybe that one should be in the S&D product claims subforum. Sure looks like one photo of someone slouched and forcing out their gut, then a second photo of them standing straight and sucking in their gut...oh, and of course conveniently placing their hand over their bottom in the second one to hide that their butt didn't actually get any smaller. :rolleyes:

There's a whole art to misrepresentation in advertizing. Sometimes when I'm bored I pick them out of commercials.

Just yesterday I saw an 'theirs and ours'-type pizza ad comparison. The wholesome ingredients in our pizza are so wholesome they even add colour to the wood plank it's sitting on! And look, it even improves the kitchen lighting!

But weight loss ones are definitely the worst.
