Oh thanks!
At first I thought "why isn't there text when I hover over it?" but then Internet Knight for IKs wasn't much help either :v:

Bird Drugs is a reference to god-tier Visual Novel, Hatoful Boyfriend, in which you are a human who goes to an all-bird highschool and hang out with a bunch of cool bird pals. The bird in the emoticon proper is Anghel Higure, a Luzon bleeding-heart who is constantly high and believes that he is the star of an anime so hard that other people start believing it too. He is not the craziest thing about Hatoful Boyfriend, which is 9 dollars to preorder on Steam because the Steam edition comes out in a week, and you should play it.

That is the source of the bird drugs image but CLAM DOWN from the Guild Wars 2 thread actually bought it because I, a bird, am often high on drugs while playing GW2 with Goon Squad.

It's a GIP thing. I don't remember who did it first, but the first ones were [WEAPON] CURES [ETHNICITY].

It's the season. Plus, there are fewer other ads running right now, so they come up more.

That "Sbour" ad is the one that gets on my nerves. Like every hangover cure they say it only works if you take it with a lot of water. Hangover cures are the only medicine that specifies this, because thats the only thing that actually helps a hangover. The pill does nothing.

The rejuvenating powers of a high-sodium, high-calorie bloody Mary should not be discounted when discussing hangover cures. gently caress drinking water. You'll recover from your hangover about as quickly as doing nothing.
