As a celebration of the end of Assignment Two, I would like to post this link to a quaint little video animation constructed in response to the world of Facebook and blogging, as we had utilized the social networking site as inspiration in our digital pursuits.

Comment on It’s not a de-tergent…it’s a safe-tergent by tombarwick

It might work well if the two women were seen taking the piss out of the man behind his back, making blah blah blah signs with there hands etc. Then they see that the product has actually worked kinda acknowledge this with a very french shrug but still just continue to take piss out of man until they both double up pissing themselves with laughter . Man looks livid and marches out ?

Or maybe its unsaveable ?

Funny, how the advertisement still degrades women–instead of showing the woman with no sense getting advice from her mom or friend about a cleaner–a MAN comes into the home unannounced and teaches the stupid woman about woolite. Funny-and creepy.

Comment on An Alarming Development ? Addart is coming soon… by sjwright

Surely though, as with anything, this new blank space can be sold. It will all get corrupted at some point in time. Seeing as they will effectively be advertising the art, it wont be long until they are targeting more niche markets directly by selling the blank spaces. So it wont be space open to just anyone who wants to advertise, it will be open only to the huge brands etc.

Also it’s not really surprising that they have created a full ‘adblocker’, the whole idea (aside the military origins) of the internet is that you can browse at leisure and skip straight to the info/ stuff you want, which is ruined by intrusive ads that just pop up in front of what ever you are reading, or if your mouse casually moves over it whilst going to select something else it opens up.

What do you expect when you invade browsing space like that? They annoy me, but as of yet not to the extent I want to banish all ads. The banners that stay put are fine. Perhaps instead of a total-blocker, stricter rules and regulations concerning internet ads could be put into place…maybe, ‘I dunno’. I doubt it will be that popular in the main. It may very well of had 4 million odd downloads, but that will be half of the 8 million who have already downloaded the older version. According to ‘http://www.internetworldstats.com’ there is an estimated world population of 6,574,666,417 peeps (2007) of which 1,244,449,601 use the internet, and only 8 million people have (so far) downloaded this adblock plus. I don’t think there is much cause to worry yet and a lot of people are savvy enough to not really mind the ads. To be fair hardly any ads pop up on my computer, the only thing that really gets me is the streaming ones that open up as you scroll over them.

AND! actually… isnt it said that the net is used primarily for porn? People like these little seedy adverts etc, the downloaders of wee porn arent going to be downloading any blockers anytime soon.

And and… adding art to the blank spaces to fill in for the adverts will soon be contested when certain pieces are deemed offensive etc and other petty, politically correct odd complaints. Just sounds like an elitest load of rubbish to me. High art and culture and all that crap. It’s an endless effort to control everything we are exposed to.

I think something should be done to cut down or regulate the cheap ads, the ‘you have won for being the millionth online user’ / ‘you have a message’ ones, that induce epilepsy. They do use up a lot of bandwidth and can slow the cpu networking down a lot…. And I have now lost my trail. Time for a tea break.
