Delocated ad

Ok... I am trying to eat my delicious breakfast consisting of Fruity Pebbles & orange juice and that Delocated Adult Swim ad keeps popping up everywhere on Field Gulls. It makes me lose my appetite. Can we get a different ad up there that doesn't feature a sickly, near-naked man who is in major need of some sun? That doesn't make me want to watch the show. How about something sports related? I mean, this is a sports website... right? An ad for Seahawks gear, that is something I would click on.

Yep.
Firefox has a version as well. Dramatically improves loading times, too.

I use AdBlock
But I consider it a common courtesy to disable it for sites I frequently visit and want to support. They’re giving me stuff for free and all they ask is that I scroll past some ads. Pretty sweet deal.
Even though I’m pretty sure SBN doesn’t make a penny from me, since it’s all NA-focused ads.

Think SBN makes much money on impressions anyway?
I’d feel bad if I thought I’d be clicking ads, ever, but I don’t, ever.
Oh, I click em too
C’mon. Fair tradeoff. I know it’s a “me me me” society, but ad revenue always seemed like a very cheap price for free entertainment, to me.

I just got the firefox version,
And has a setting that lets less obtrusive ads through to reward advertising in a less annoying way.
I’m gonna go click ESPN and give this thing a whirl.
If somebody posted this picture
they’d probably get banned. SB Nation brought out the gimp.
70% of space is covered by dark matter, the rest by ET.
I think it ties the page together.

If the ad is that bad, you do have the option of taking it up with SBN.

Adblock is working fine, just get it like you said and it goes poof
I don’t think you need admin permission to install it either

I definitely understand the argument here.
But honestly, the ads crack me up. The show is about a guy who is in the witness protection program that gets a reality tv show. GENIUS!
But, alas, I do not have control over the ads either.
How genius is that?
It’s a rip off of that kinkos/fed ex commercial.
70% of space is covered by dark matter, the rest by ET.
It's a pretty funny show.

Yup
I’m a big fan of Eugene Mirman’s work in it.

Hear me, O SBnation,
the Delocated ads are making me less likely to ever watch the show, and I do not like seeing this all over the page.
As a matter of fact I hereby resolve never to watch this show.
You’re welcome, Adult Swim.

Man, SBN doesn't care if you ever watch it
As long as they get paid.

Ironically
The fact that there is a fanpost about the ad is playing right into their evil, maniacal plans. MUHAHAHAHAHA, MUHAHAHAHA, [deep breath], MUHHAHAHAHAHA.
In all seriousness though, it’s working. Because we’re talking about it.

Am I the only one who is laughing at this ad?
Kudos to SBN I say. The ad is less disturbing than Kay’s and eight times more fun.

Apropos to not-safe-for-work material
What about your avatar, Seahawk MyQ?
Not that I mind looking at it. But. Apropos!

No nudity
Body paint is considered an equivalent to clothing… so… an Apocalypse on your apropos!
Plus I never brought up NSFW… I just said I was trying to eat my breakfast and was disgusted.
Ah, yet another reason I'm glad you hide avatars
Body paint is considered an equivalent to clothing at festivals and wrestling. Not too many places consider it the same

Would someone tell SBN
It’s not appropriate advertising to have a half naked terrorist riding a dead brown bear. That ad is offensive and needs to be pulled immediately.
That someone has got to be you, the people.

My work climbed up my ass about it so I wrote them
I personally don’t care, even though its disturbing, but sucks when I can’t visit FG while at work cause of stupid advertisements
I Bleed Blue and Green
wouldnt mind having an ad or two
but to have 2 of the same ad on each page i click on is a bit much.
Enter the 37th chamber: BEASTMODE
This ad took all of SB nation down for hours.

I think the chest hair finally did it in
