View Full Version : My Foray Into Explosm's Ads

Mmmmhmm. Fresh from Ban Kamp. The clown was lovely, and the music was top notch. Gotta hand it to whoever designed it.
Anyway, I noticed an ad.
To be specific.
OUTSWIM THE PIRANHAS
I can do that. So I click fifty times and hellz yeah! Score one for WG, I win! I mean, its not like they make it so easy someone with carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis of the hands could do it! So, I turn off my pop-up blocker and what do I see? I'VE WON TEN RINGTONES. BULL SHIAT. I played for a cell phone, and what do I get? Not a cell phone. Blasphemy, I say.
Well, I DID work my ass off with all those clicks, so I might as well retrieve my 'tones. So I read some shit, enter my cell number in, and some other crap. Then I ACTUALLY read the terms and conditions.
"You must be at least thirteen...."
Check
"You must have parental permission"
HELL NO!
"You agree to be charged $14.99"
Fuck. No. So, as I click out of this ad, I am berated by one of those annoying pop-ups that says stupid shit and doesn't go away 'till about a hundred clicks.
Mah Kweschion-
Are there no pop-up adds that are somewhat intelligible, and don't try to scam you? Now, I rarely ever click on ads (only did this out of boredom), but whenever I do, it's always stupid crap.
And for the slower folk out there-
Get new ads. And, I know pop-ups are never what they're supposed to be. I don't expect to ACTUALLY get a new laptop for guessing how many Americans are fatasses.
That is all. And as a bonus- Turn your sound on. 'Tis not scary, I swear my life on it.

Yeah, but I'm guessing those retarded ads pay the most. Theres a new one saying porn is lame then it says Jack9.com Anyone click this yet? I'm curious but I don't want a shitload of pop-ups on my screen.

That last link is older than shit.
I'm pretty sure the Admin's don't have control over whatever ads come up.
You're pretty much a sucker.

Shit.
I still want my cell phone. And Mobius- You're jealous becuase I'm able to find old crap.

Get a job and buy one.
Shit.
I still want my cell phone.
I'll get that to you as well as 5 iPod nanos, 3 XBox 360s and 25 iPhones if you shoot a couple ninjas.

Hot DAYAM.
@Mobius
I already have one. It's that cool Samsung SCH-u740 that opens up two ways and has a keyboard.
I'd take a picture of it for proof, but I still need to find an ad that will give me a camera.

The ninja's will attack you on some random day when you're walking down the street, right?

Silly silly, they'll show up in an ad.

From what I understand, you can get that free stuff. You have to sign up for a bunch of sponsors, and get a certain number of friends to sign up. The company ends up with about twice as much as the ipod/iphone/whateverthehellelse So they send you one. Then your friends have to do the same thing, get more friends etc.
GET A FREE* SOLID GOLD FERRARI!

Sign me up. What do I have to do, zap a mosquito?
No, you have to shave the woman's legs faster than the other guy. Most "Wtf?" ad I've seen.

No no, i thought the latest "thing" was shaving Britney Spear's head!
By the way people, If you use Mozilla Firefox (which you would if you wern't a clown) then you can shoot as many ducks, kill as many mosquitoes, whack as many paperazzi and and all the other point less games thanks to the built in pop-up blocker that it has.
One day you will have to pay to post.
Pay with the blood of your children.

You are quite right it does. I would love to get that even though I don't have an office. Just having it would kick ass.

Hey Whitegrass if you actually follow this through and turn it into an article it might actually do something other than suck. That's not even an insult. You're a n00b, I'm me, so this is a first. Follow the adventure through, continue to write it up in your fairly entertaining style, post entire foray. And you win me not being a dick to you.

Most adds are like that..
"Play the game to get a FREE!* ringtone!
*Agreeing to this game involves you being added to our charge list, being texted 20 times daily, and being charged $500 per text"
I hate them with a passion.
We also get alot of these on TV in Adelaide - the 'multi question quiz' games, that is. The idea is you get a simple question; *picture of the Sydney Opera House* "Where is this famous landmark located? Is it A) Sydney, or B) The moon? Text your answer to *number* to win a *random prize*"
The fine print tells of the texts being $2.00 each, and no doubt there are about a million questions after it. Death to anyone who participates in these "games".

Why the sudden change in ethic?
Because Whitegrass wants Quadros to flame him, and the last thing Quadros wants to do is make a noob happy.

I think the most annoying are the stupid question ones, "Will you miss Tony Blair?" Don't you mean do I miss him seen as he isn't prime minister anymore? Seriously I don't think they update them more than once a year.
