    These Ads Are Hurting My Eyes!

    Ok, Am I the only person who cringes every time I click on anywhere here at TPM, and either see hideous abdominal flab staring back at me, or contrasting yellow next to amazingly white (but both unappealing) teeth?

    Yuk!  Yuk! Yuk! and Yuk!

    I thought ads were supposed to make you desire something!  These make me want to close my eyes until the image goes away.  Show me a pleasant smile, or a reasonably flat ab and make me think you can provide it!  Don't show me the ugliest mutt at the dog show and then expect me to buy your elixer to make me "best in show," because I'll be too nauseated to try, and I won't believe it anyway.

    Let's go back to feel-good, lying ads.  It's what we're used to!
