I was sorting out Photobucket just now, and was aware of something flashing away on the screen. Needless to say it was a advertisment.
As you possibly know, when I watch TV and the ads come up I hit the mute button. There seem to be many ads these days that are made up of rapidly changing images. Is our attention span that short these days?
In a way today's peeve follows on from the one Mike gave us yesterday.
It is; Distracting flashing ads.
Great peeve, Jezer! The flashing ads drive me nuts, which is exactly why they're there. Often, flashing ads - or ads with balls bouncing or some other animated junk to distract - pops up on the side while I'm playing Scrabble or another game on Pogo.com. They distract me like crazy. Sometimes I have even quit a good game because the ads annoy me so much. However, lately, I've been keeping a large post-it note handy and I stick it over the flashing or animated ad so I can continue to play my word game in peace.
Hey, that would make a good Tip O' the Day, wouldn't it? Too bad I already spilled the beans, though.
