Post a Picture that Makes You Laugh

Family oriented my ***. How many have family that would rather you be doing ANYTHING besides building more damn amplifiers and speakers, plotting and scheming to build said amplifiers and speakers, or reading about building said amplifiers and speakers?

Do they cringe when they see another box from Radio Electric Supply show up on the front porch?

JHRC - you guys are trying to distract me. Was searching for TUBES, not B00Bs. Both freaking ends of the same page.

In defense of the AI running these things scrolling on a tablet quite often ends up clicking on things accidentally.

The ads served follow your browsing preferences through a large amount of data collection.
The odd thing is I get the same sort of ads. Not sure what is up there.

The point is that’s NOT what I browse for! I said TUBES with a “T”. Maybe didn’t understand “tube top cap”? I did actually buy some of those recently. Now somebody needs to make a sex joke out of “Novar” or “Compactron” and we’re all set!

Advertising is out of control and getting stupider with every minute.

I do not understand the mindset of the people in advertising. They are very, very annoying and arrogant.

The more I see a product advertised, the less likely I am to patronize the business. If they were so good, the wouldn't need to bug the #### out of us every time we turn on the TV.

I get the same crazy ads too. And I can assure you, I have no interest in wacky women's clothing.

I browse stuff like speaker drivers at Parts Express and capacitors at Digi-Key. Wouldn't it make sense to target me with audio and electronic ads? Hello Einstein?

It just goes to show that the algorithms are stupider than the idiots that write them. Advertisers pay for this?

I hardly watch TV. The overwhelming avalanche of mind numbing commercials is one of the reasons.

I try to tune into the news at least once a day. If I listen the news for 20 minutes, I will hear the same commercial 5 or 6 times. And I get sooooooooooooooooooo much solicitation in the mail. I got an official looking letter today which made it sound like I would lose half my social security if I didn't sign up for their supplemental insurance NOW NOW NOW. RSVP BY JAN 2 OR DIE. This message was SO IMPORTANT that the US gubment sent it to me presort (junk) mail.

This is why I say that advertisers and marketers have zero morals. Those vultures would gladly take my money and give me zilch in return. No morals at all.
