Audio Ads?

[bigb]

I just got blasted, in the middle of a geology class, by a Pedigree dog food ad at the bottom of the main page. It leads to their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PedigreeTreats

Seriously, my professor was in the middle of a power point that I wasn't paying attention to when it went off, at full volume. Had no idea how to turn it down. I haven't been that embarrassed in a long time.

I feed my dogs Pedigree. Good stuff.

Ok, another tweak made. Please let me know if you HEAR anything.

I see what you did there.

Sorry about the rant the other day. I guess I was a little ornery. I did just here another audio ad though.

I just got an ad with audio from here: https://www.iams.com/dog-food/buy-now?online=PH

Just got another two audio ones from Discover. https://www.discovercard.com/applic...&sc=KCC4&cmpgnid=dp-dbr-inet-it-ficosurprises

It pays to Discover.

Just got that one again.

This is really annoying.

Re-reported it to our advertiser... sorry...

Got one from Iams and 2 from greenies. Apparently complaining made them increase the amount of times they come on. 3 in the last 15 minutes.

So this was horrible-- I got two simulataneous ads from Iams, but offset around 0.5 seconds. So they played over the top of each other sounding 10x worse than usual, and I couldn't do anything about it. https://www.iams.com/dog-food/buy-now?online=PH

Happened to me twice. Really annoying.

I don't get it. Does the advertiser have an opt-out for audio ads but sends them constantly anyway?

I don't like audio ads but I'm okay with Jason doing whatever he has to to generate operating money, so if they're unavoidable then I guess that's that.

Part of the problem is that I'm listening to classical music on my computer, so I have the volume turned up pretty loud to begin with. Then the stupid ads come on and blast me out of my chair. This is really starting to ruin the site for me. Maybe it's time to consider a different advertiser.

Just got the Iams one. Scared crap outta me.

 

[colton]

Made me laugh. The point was since the music itself is quiet, I have to turn the volume knob up quite a bit to have it play at a regular level.

I just got the Iams one again, dang it!
