Hi there, long time no see right? Hey, do you surf the internet obsessively like I do? No, okay that's fine but if you've browsed any media sites lately I'm sure you've noticed this.... So you're on your favorite blog and everything is good. You're reading up on the latest Chris Brown shenanigans and you're having a good time. Then all of a sudden your speakers start blaring, that annoying whistle from the Frebreeze commercial starts playing and you are scrambling to adjust the speakers so no one else gets to hear about the freshness of Frebreeze. Meanwhile some white lady is telling you about how you can visit the website and get 50 cents off your next purchase and that's all fine and great. As you scroll up and down the page you find that the video in question seems to be playing out of thin air. No tiny little embedded player in sight. So you're forced to just sit there and let it play with no way of knowing if another one is coming up after that (that you can't pause or stop). This has happened to me REPEATEDLY and it grinds my nerves up into finely ground powder fit to be sprinkled on top of only the finest, freshest county fair funnel cake. Sometimes I get lucky and find the evil video before I'm ear raped by an ad for ERUPTIVA, the latest pill for erectile dysfunction or something. All other times I'm sitting there completely helpless. It seems like this is the new thing for advertisers. Banners don't work. Making you stare at an ad for 30 seconds before you visit the blog doesn't work either ( I just close my eyes really tight and count to 30). So I guess the next best thing is to just violently invade my senses by inserting an untraceable video on my page and laugh while I try to find it and kill it like a roach in a dirty apartment. Well guess what advertisers?!!! You won't crush my spirit!!!!!! I will enjoy my blog time. Next time I'll simply insert my fingers in my ears and scream until it's all over. Naw, that might get me arrested if I'm out somewhere on my computer. Nevermind, but I will tell you this Mr. Ad man, this invasion of random videos makes me hate your products even more. If I see some Frebreeze in the grocery store I'm going to shudder and think of that one time on the computer. So the joke's on you. *Dramatically points finger* HA!
*P.S. I was not sponsored by Frebreeze to write this post, in face I love Frebreeze. I have a can at home. It's lovely.Simply used it for example purposes. Oh, and I love white ladies too.
