These banners are killing me...

[Cherishthepast 20]

Why do they (lapbandtalk) allow banners that promote eating crap? Everytime I login to the site I see ads for cupcakes, ice cream... - WHY?

The sad thing is I never really think about eating this crap until I see it thrown in my face. This is the last place this stuff should be advertised on.

Yes, I'm venting . Ready to scream:mad2:

I'm thankful for ability not to act on the cravings these ads bring about - not always easy. However, what about folk that aren't able to block this nonsense out or am I the only one getting these?

I was thinking the same thing when I joined. The blue cupcake really made me hungry. I just blocked the ads from coming up.

I'm using Windows and all I get are lap band and Protein drink ads as well...man, the food ads have to suck!

Use Firefox and install the adblock plus extension.

No more ads on the Internet anywhere.

I was recentley using someone elses laptop that only had Internet explored on it. I was shocked at the amount of ads. I'd forgotten how painful it was to use the Internet with ads.

I can see cupcakes. lol. They're so pretty though!

They pay for the Website. Thats what keeps it free for us to use. Not to bad when you think about what we are getting for free. Lots of support from Bandies like us.

[ElfiePoo 109]

Nope...only see ads for Protein drinks and band ads.

This is really weird. I use Google Chrome and I never see any food ads. Lots of ads for Protein drinks and band doctors, but never a cupcake...

I, also, use firefox; I only get Lapband adds, Isopure, and plastic surgery adds, too! I sure am glad I don't get the food adds. HATE watching some shows on TV when all you see are food adds, and you don't even want that food anymore! Karen(kll724)

I've seen the food ads as well...and thought the same thing. I just think of it as "yep, look at the crap I used to eat that brought me here..." I use it as motivation.
