I’m not sure if I can fucking handle this. I like to think of myself as a man of principle, I ‘stand up guy’ as they say and thus, even though I could be making a tidy packet off advertising on this site, I’ve chosen not to go that route because advertising is horse shit and it’s filling our minds with puke.
Me, I got bigger things in my crosshairs than a couple of Gs a month for some bullshit Life Insurance ads on my site.
So anyway, long story short, for some time now I’ve suspected that J-Rab is shit-your-pants crazy because she spotted some random advert on my site a few months back, which I promptly told her is not possible, because, well, I haven’t SOLD any advertising on the site.
Then today I get back from work and she grabs my hand, without saying a word, marches me to her laptop, and shows me the following:
It’s fucking Ayoba time?! It’s FUCKING AYOBA TIME?!?! Christ, what the fuck is going on here? Fuck you MTN and FUCK YOU GOOGLE for raping my site like this without my goddamn permission!
How do I stop this? Somebody help me out here, I mean for fuck’s sake, I HATE MTN and everything they stand for, does no one remember my ‘Death By Ayoba’ post?
God, the irony is killing me!
And even worse than that, they stuck this piece of filth up on my ‘White Nipples’ post. How DARE they defile the sacred White Nipples with this garbage?!
I give up. Seriously. I give the fuck up.
Have a great weekend. Me, I’ll be drinking myself to hell and back, screaming ‘AYOBA’ in the streets until the cops lock me the fuck up and hopefully end my misery.
-ST
lol ……. you need some pepper if your mouth ;0) Just kidding….
I agree – Breasts or Ayoba…………DAM
xx
AAAAHHH!!!!!
It’s still there.
Just phone the owner of google directly, he’ll know who you are;)
Fuck them, isn’t that illegal?
GJ
It’s wordpress honey:
“Note: To support the service (and keep free features free), we also sometimes run advertisements. We’ve tested a lot of different ad providers and currently use Google AdSense and Skimlinks. ”
Well hopefully it is.
I find it quite awesome that J-Rab found it on the White Nipples post. It’s kinda kinky that she was looking there in the first place… Mmm…
I don’t think you can get around the advertising problem unless you pay a premium to wordpress, or have some solicited advertising which you choose, like Google Adwords.
Haha!
I cannot believe the same guy who wrote ‘Klapping the gym boet’ skipped over coming home, to find his girlfriend checking the white nipples post.
Slick tiger brain fart or more news for tomorrow?
So WordPress is running ads on your site because it’s awesome AND THEY’RE NOT EVEN GIVING YOU ANY OF THE MONEY THEY’RE EARNING, which you don’t even want?!
Let me put this in a way we can all understand…
WordPress se ma se poes!
Get over yourself you fucking pansy. The problem isn’t MTN, Google or even Ayoba. Your blogging host WordPress is selling your page to the highest bidder. Get your own site, http://www.slicktiger.co.za, instead of whining you cheap bastard.
So .. *deep breath*. You’ve recently discovered that your hostsite sells advertising, literally stealing the food from your unborn childrens mouths. What to do? What to fucking do??
Cry me a river, build a bridge and get the fuck over it. Then get your own domain and take ownership of your content. 😉
Deep breaths Jonno, deep breaths. I have to assume, based on tony’s recent video, that he has already put the wheels in motion with regards to the above mentioned. I guess Tony’s surprise was in the inconsistencies with regards to the advertising that appears on a wordpress.com hosted blog. (See http://www.snap.com/) I am yet to see google ads on a wordpress.com hosted site, but perhaps I don’t view enough wordpress.com hosted blogs to be familiar with this advertising. I think it’s a fair deal to offer free hosting for advertising space, don’t you? They are not stealing anything. Did you notice the creative commons license at top of page? Perhaps you are being sarcastic or trying to be humorous, in which case, i apologize for not getting it.
My apologies to you for not making it blatantly clear that I was being sarcastic.
In future I shall endeavour to add comments (sarcy comment) to point out when I am indeed being sarcy for clarity and your peace of mind (end of sarcy comment).
I think the point is that whatever you do in this goddamn world,
Someone will always come and fuck it up by slapping some meaningless shit all over it to make it sell something.
We are all being turned into slaves, living out mediocre existences, unless we turn our backs on the whole thing, and skulk off into the forest like the guys in Defiance.
But like those Jewish runaways, we can also fight back, with weapons of our own, stolen from the hands of dead advertising moguls. We creep up to their houses late at night and steal all their great campaign ideas, running away laughing wildly. Like Banshees.
Back to point:
If you try to fuck the system, it will grab your dick and snap it off. One clean break, by a hand too big and strong to fight against. We resort to monkey tactics. Flying under the radar, hoping that someone will come along and save us, give us millions to create art in peace and freedom.
It’s a bullshit ideal, a naive train of thought easily derailed by the machine of society.
So then what is left to do?
Give up our quest for self-enlightenment and self-enhancement?
Or continue to create a watered down version of our art so that we can be ushered into the fantastic, colorful world of the rich and famous.
What do you want from life? What do you people really want to achieve here?
Do you mind the fact that most of us end up not doing much with the time we’re given?
There is so much to do, so much to create and so much to Love.
How do you wake up every morning and tell yourself it’s okay? What do you say to yourself to make it fine, to be okay with the fact that you aren’t special in any way. You might think you are special, and about ten other people might think you are special, but nobody else cares. And if they do care, they only care because you can make them money.
So what is it going to be?
Are we going to stand up for what we really believe in? Stand up for our personal art?
Are we going to fight?
Are you willing to die for what you believe in?
If you are, you are amongst the greatest men and women who ever lived.
Those people fought, and died for what they believed in.
So take a pen, a brush, a fucking calculator: and live it. Until you cannot go on any more.
Until you are dead and gone, you will fight, you will fight for your life.
And when you are dead and gone, they will remember your name.
And that is all you can ask for. The best you will get will be some guy saying your name somewhere.
This life will not matter unless it matters to you.
What are we going to do with it?
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
That is very funny. Tell everyone to install AdBlock Plus in Firefox. They’ll never see another ad again and help force the online business model to something less lame.
The obvious solution would be to either upgrade to a premium wordpress blog or switch hosting providers, but them we have to memorize a new link 🙁
Time to self-host Slick. I’ve taken the liberty of registering http://www.slicktiger.co.za. You can have it for a cool R50,000 *evil grin*
