I love babies and I have only had sex with a lady older than 18. Babies are so warm and soft and cuddly. And they love me. Parents will hand their babies to me and I will stop their crying. My MiL hates me for this ability.

I don't see why getting your own accounts suspended is a worrying thing for a company to be able to do? Like you could just get yourself suspended if you really wanted.

The tweeter is wrong about that part because it’s easy for anyone to do. People unwittingly do it all the time when they change the profile’s date of birth to something less than thirteen years in the past.

It’s not worrying, but it is funny.

the image itself theorizes that planters setup these campaigns to astro-turf interest in the baby nut, retweeted the memes, then shuttered the account to prevent copycat meme pages from using those names.

It's extra stupid because none of those ingredients are oranges either, and judging by the list the color of the smoothie would be purplish.

I thought "clockwork orange" was some sort of slang for an unnatural thing that didn't make sense, which is why Burgess used it for a title. An orange drink that contains no oranges and is in fact pink would seem a very clockwork orange.

I don't have a pen, but I assure you it's 10:20am and it's a lovely 68°/21°c and they make the finest pina coladas I've ever had at the Monkey Business bar in Cabo San Lucas. They use real fruit instead of mix.



Their social media is a disaster, though.

I dunno about the rest of y'all, but lately I keep getting these disgusting ads about earwax removal. No idea why, I haven't Googled or used Gmail for anything remotely resembling that, I never actually talk on my phone, and don't have Alexa or anything like that. I just got one on Wunderground, the weather site I trust. I get them on a stupid webcomic I read daily, too. I'm used to getting the occasional icky ad if I go over to WebMD or something, but lately they just keep showing up everywhere, ime.

Nothing shy of lotustit.jpg will make me click "back" faster than these images of peanut-butter-like goop coming out of an ear. So not only are they not getting me to even spare a glance at their services (whatever the hell they are), they're making me want to install every ad-blocker under the sun. How is that possibly good marketing?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
There are already a lot of those, as well as removing ingrown toenails and a lot of other stuff involving draining pus, like failed synthol implants.

Oh, I know, I'm familiar with the phenomenon. If that's what someone digs, go forth and watch all the videos you want. I ain't judging.

But this is like... I dunno. How would you like to be driving to work first thing in the morning and suddenly there's a billboard ad for tampons showing a pair of panties full of clotting blood? Or an ad for IBS meds that have a picture of Tubgirl? That's what these ads feel like for me.

It's one thing to seek out the gross stuff at your leisure; it's another to check "is it gonna rain today?" or "I wonder what this humorous character is up to today!" and as you scroll down, get blasted with someone scooping Vegemite out of their ear. (plus, seriously, if my ears looked like that, I'd be going to the doctor and getting them professionally flushed; I'm sure the ads are probably for some quack poo poo like candling)

I use a fresh browser pretty often at work, and the amount of earwax/pimple ads on some news sites is just insane. It definitely goes in cycles too, like I instantly know I'm in for a week of this cyst video trying to lure me in if I can't get an adblocker working on it.

Exploration is ill-advised.
It's like the early days of internet advertising when ads that weren't flat out scams would be for the most random products.

There isn't actually any plan, they just throw whatever ads people pay for on whatever sites don't actively refuse them.

Internet advertising has basically been relentlessly making GBS threads where it eats since day zero.
