Sponsored gifts?! What is this shit?

It's not fucking, when the other can't feel your dick

[tinamuggi]

You should be.

It's definitely dipping into the negative numbers.

Hahahahaha, words right out of my mouth there. You are too fast.

Re: Fucking around is my business, and business is good.

[the_lament]

At least you show a little bit of common sense there.

I think.

[didds]

The point is FUCK YOU I'M HILARIOUS.

I laughed so hard.

hahahahaha.

The point is, I paid to NOT see ads

[elfwreck]

They're pulling a fast one by not allowing paid & perm users to opt out. Part of what we pay for is not seeing advertisements.

This is fraud--taking people's money, and then not giving them the product they claimed to sell.

[ex_uniquewo]

LOL. You're so predictable. Let's see... caps lock, the word fuck somewhere, some veiled insult via your icon and the gifts, of course. Yes, they're all there.

BTW you're still missing the point.

[ex_uniquewo]

Still missing the point. But keep on trying, it's funny.

[ex_uniquewo]

I knew your were funny.

The point is that, as you put it, this is an advertising campaign and that, theoretically, I'm paying not to see ads. I'm seeing them. That's it. It has nothing to do with whether I like them or not and it certainly doesn't make me sad. A bit angry maybe but not sad. The other point is that, quite ridiculously so, LiveJournal staffers have denied that these were ads. Don't you find that hilarious?

[ex_uniquewo]

Well, you know what? When another user and I tried to explain them that, in the normal and logical world, this was an ad, they simply closed our requests. At the time, I'm afraid there was less laughing and more pissing on my part. Pissing as in way pissed off.

in the normal and logical world
...there would be no LiveJournal. Probably no Internet at all, only CompuServe and GEnie. Personally, I'd rather live in this anormal, illogical world. :-)

Uh? Why not?
