...so I'll just post it and run:

Funny, I was just noticing that.

If only they were all like that.

Found this one on Keenspot:

Going for the lowest common denominator, aren't we, True?

Hmm...I got a different ad.

I got no ads.
Ever.

Thank you ridiculously powerful spyware and popup protection!

I'd do it.

hmmm not nearly as good as the chicken bra though.

I personally always found uncle sam pointing at my direction very hawt.

Yeah, he's just so forceful and...pointy!

Hell yes! All I ever see up there is white space. I almost miss seeing them when ads like this come around.... Almost.

Hawt.

.... these are real ads? I've never seen them thanks to my own ad-blockers.

(And after a quick Google search...)

Oh, my goodness. I knew about match.com, but some of these online dating services are hilarious!

From true.com:

Married People Will Be Prosecuted

WARNING: Married people need not apply


If you are married and posing as single, be aware that you could be guilty of fraud and subject to civil and criminal penalties under U.S. federal and state law. For each offense, Title 18, Section 1343 of the U.S. Code authorizes fines of up to $250,000 and jail sentences of up to five years. TRUE reserves the right to report violators to law enforcement authorities and seek prosecution or civil redress to the fullest extent of the law. If you are married, please close your browser.

And they do criminal background checks (online) on all members, too!

Yes, I'm sure you can feel safe and secure knowing that no married felons could possibly sneak through their filters! Why, you have to provide a login name and an e-mail address! How could anyone beat security like that?


Now, as for "aiming at the lowest common denominator," let's take a look at Keenspot's Media Kit page:

Keenspot.com is the most popular spot on the web for exclusive, original, youth-oriented comic strips. Our 50+ exclusive features and 50,000+ pages of original comics content totally addict teens and young adults (70% male, 50% age 18-24) like no other form of entertainment on the web. They form an emotional attachment to the characters and storylines and can't wait to return daily to see what happens next. As a Keenspot sponsor, readers will associate your brand with the new breed of edgy comics they've grown to love.

I.e., "primarily young casual-dating-age males with plenty of time for websurfing."

Well, I think True's banner ads indicate they know exactly what target audience they are aiming at....

I bet the reason we have ads like this is because half of the keenspacers are single and HAWt. Just look at those old picture threads. Who wouldn't want to meet up with us?
