I've ranted about web ads here quite a bit.  Not that my rants have any affect on what people produce, but I can't believe some of the garbage that is cranked out and passed off for advertising. While I have personally noticed a reduction in the total number of annoyance ads that either pop-up, pop-under, or float over a page that I'm viewing I have noticed an increase in the text based ads.  Usually they are pretty simple with a small image, some basic text and a short link. My beef with them is that they are just as annoying as the other types of ads.  The one that I'm seeing all the time is the "Jiggly Fat" one.  It makes my kids laugh, but I think that it's just plain stupid (sorry that's a "Naughty" word in our house) just plain "lame". Then again, maybe I do have a bunch of "Jiggly Fat" that I need to lose and the agency that produced these ads have developed technology to only display it to people like me who really need to lose said "Jiggly Fat", but I know for a fact that I don't need a "Colon Cleanser".  One Colonoscopy per lifetime is enough thank you very much.
