That gum water commercial is hella annoying. Okay, show me some girls fat stomach and how now she looks like a stick, or some random maze... but when I want to click videos and there is a guys face in a wave in my way, well, that's just annoying! haha. I get mad and don't even think about the ad. If I do recognize your ad, I will be sure to avoid the product! Has forcing people to look at something ever worked?

Guy: HEY! LOOK AT ME! I'M COOL!
Girl: Get out of my face! Who is that guy across the bar hiding his charming good looks?

Please ad companies. Stop this. What I find even more annoying are ads that feel they need to make sound. I hear some random "HEY!" from a smily ad and I'm flipping out thinking I have a stalker. It wasn't on this website, but you know what I mean. It is just for the point I'm trying to make.

Yes, the orbit ad keeps popping up for me everytime I go to a new page or after a minute or two on the same page. And it's hella huge too and covers more than half my screen.

Seriously? How do you not see it!? It's soo annoying! I'm just minding my own business, checkin out meh fave webby site... And all of a sudden the screen is flooded with water, and two packs of gun, and a turtle.... And popcorn... o_O It's so weird! It makes me wanna go to the Orbit factory with a flamethrower and melt all the gum... Then the factory would be a big gummy mess. Heh heh... that's not a bad idea!

As much as I hate that gum ad, I did buy that gum. I also hate those interactive ad's' and the " Congradulations, you've won a free_____".

it only pops up when I'm on the home page or videos, not the forums. side note: there's a hurricane happening and I'm pretty sure a tree just blew over

i agree. and then the gum is just nasty. it stings your mouth and then it loses its flavor after like 5 minutes, and then it gets all nasty and mushy, like the skittles gum when you chew it for too long. *vomit*

me too. most of the time i have around 8 or nine windows running, and i can almost never figure out where it's coming from... it just plain sucks. why put an ad online that's just going to make everyone not want to buy the gum? honestly, i think it should be considered a virus.
aynonamus
