Support NeoGAF

[Xdrive05]

Will they ask us to remove the "Gay Thug" ads too?

Or how about the "Muslim Singles" one? I like that one.

 

[Lonestar]

Yeah, I was already thinking A War might be necessary. I call dibs on the Announcement of Victory.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Haha, this site does have a lot of stupid ads though.

 

[Tamanon]

All I know is that we have McCain ads and GayChubbyDating ads. Somehow I think one group's demos got crossed.

Lonestar: I've got a flight suit, you get the banner!

 

[Lonestar]

gonna get the "Jimmy Johns is the Provider of Win" Banner. I think it'll do well with the Youth Movement.

Obama's "change" has never really been about wildly different policies or anything. Sure, there's the obvious "change" from Bush, but I've always took it more as a reference to his lack of negative personal attacks, unwillingness to fall into red-state/blue-state dichotomies, and support for grassroots organizing (small donations, 50-state strategy, etc.). Which is why he's always mentioned "this election is not about me, it's about you".

Obama isn't the raging liberal that he's painted as, but you could argue that he's most likely to be pushed in that direction, and responsive to grassroots organizing while in office. If people simply wanted the most "progressive" or most "liberal" candidate, Kucinich would've been #1 or something.

Yeah, it's a bit annoying that people thought that "CHANGE" meant "VERY LEFT WING POLICIES!"

 

[The Lamonster]

:lol :lol :lol

a-political??????

HE HAS NO IDEA ABOUT POLIGAF WTF WTF WTF WTF


edit: hah nice title change.

DYACK vs. GAMING
KOS vs. OT
LAG vs. ONLINE

 

[Tamanon]

So I'm going to point out that this is the internet, where Anonymous rules, and Anonymous is known for being mindlessly hateful and bigoted.

It's still Anonymous even if there are usernames. Usernames still allow you to type things you would never say in person for fear of censure. Look at any message board online (/tg/ or /k/ of 4chan, for example).

So. Right-wing smears? Delusional beliefs? Advocating violence against male persons of color and against all women? Yep, yep and yep, respectively.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Odrion]

blogs are the worst thing ever created

 

[ralexand]

Colmes stated yesterday that he had it on good authority that Obama would pick Powell as his vp. Can't believe that they would ask America to pick two black guys.

 

[ToxicAdam]

A watering hole that used to be fairly a-political in the past

That's my favorite part of his rant.

:lol

 

[speculawyer]

hahahaha

I for one am glad to see McCain wasting his money on us. :lol .

Exactly. I'll click on them on occasion just to what the crap is about thus costing them even more.

 

[mckmas8808]

platitudes?

NO! Change the way we work with foreign nations.

Change the everyday thought of what it means to have patoritism.

Change the thought that dems don't care or relate to people of faith.

Change the way young people in high school view and operate for homeless shelters by giving them up to 4000 dollars for service to your country that won't put you in harms way. Some people like myself don't like war and will never join the military. But offering people college money for working with people of need is great.

Changing the way we view broadband as a government. He wants to increase broadband availability to pretty much everybody. Theres great reasons to do this.

Change the way we view public transportation. He want to increase the number of high speed railways in America. This will do a lot of help to the county.

Change the red state/blue state campaign. 50 state campaign am here.

Reaching across the aisle even we its not popular to do. And being reasonable.

Theres plenty of things change stands for.

on another note, i'm pissed at Tamanon for linking to dailykos. i don't believe i've visited that site in months and hoped to continue that trend.

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

what's all this about the kos?

 

[Boogie]

what's all this about the kos?

dumb blogger says that GAF is a-political. PoliGAF dies of laughter.

 

[Father_Brain]

Just in case people don't get it: This is just something some random idiot posted on Kos, not one of the regular bloggers there. You have to look hard to even find the link on the front page.

So, this is "some idiot vs. neoGAF," not "dailykos vs. neoGAF."

 

[Tamanon]

A fair number of banner ads contain malicious coding that, for example, attempts to install malware, opens pop-up windows, may generally misbehave.

Also, there's minor amusement value when a site that promotes itself as family-friendly has pretty suggestive ads for dating sites (which are scams) or frankly pornographic ads for, well, porn sites, show up in the ad rotation.

I must've missed the porn site ads

Dude is just a straight hater, trying to instigate some 1-up/NeoGAF beatdown.

 

[StoOgE]

SD you ruined it for everyone. You made Markos mad at you.

Markos has almost certainly never heard of NeoGAF, and had nothing to do with that post.

Obama ad responding to McCain's energy ad. Already starting to hit McCain/Bush hard for the first half of it.:lol

 

[speculawyer]

Most pointless poll I've seen so far:

Pet owners prefer McCain over Obama

1) Who the fuck cares?

2) It is a pretty fucking obvious considering rural people are more likely to have pets since they don't live in tiny urban apartments/condos/co-ops/etc.

BTW, my dog told me to vote Obama.

This is why we cant have nice things.

it is in the nature of GAF to overinflate our own importance and tell the world about it.

Now stick to the scrpit. markos called Ami himself.

I am reminded of the Demetri Martin joke....

"Owning a dog in a city is like saying 'my need for companionship outweighs my dislike of cleaning up shit'"

So what are you really saying?

Clearly, he has another demographic problem here. He's going to have to do some real work to make inroads with pet owners. Personally, I like the idea of him making a few of his campaign stops just be him giving speeches while walking his dog through random, blue-collar neighborhoods.

Obviously this puts Paris Hilton in Veep consideration.

 

[Steve Youngblood]

Yes. This would also really help him connect with the everyman as well. Paris was excellent at developing strong rapports with people from all walks of life in the highly entertaining The Simple Life.

 

[Dilbert]

I thought it was from sucking a lot of dick, but yeah, I guess the TV show helped too.

Actually, can you imagine if Paris Hilton really DID run for office? She'd hire a political consultant who would advise her to "press some flesh," and the results would be awesome...with or without night vision.

Clearly, the pet food industry is trying to reach out to consumers that historically do not have pets to expand their market. Democrats will need to buy more pets to keep up with the McCain crowd, which in turn means awesome profits for the pet food companies.

It's all one big conspiracy I tell you.

Oddly enough, dogs are way less self-dependent than cats are....you'd think they'd be liberals!

 

[Keylime]

Al Gore warned us that pets are going to be more involved in the political process with his endorsement speech.

The fact that the Obama campaign has done nothing to step up their outreach to the "domesticated animal" demographic is no one's fault but their own.

They fucking deserve to lose the election with negligence like that.

NeoGAF is more than jut a home to the emotionally stunted musings of Thirteen Year Olds with anime avatars discussing the plot intricacies of “Final Fantasy X”. NeoGAF's Video Game Forum is home to more than Thirteen Year Olds and Gamers that act the part.

Oh shit boys! NeoGAF is on TEH LIBERAL BLOGS!

Saying that NeoGAF should remove the McCain ads for some reason.

:lol :lol :lol :lol This is so rich it just has to be fattening.

 

[EviLore]

I emailed the Daily Kos guy:

Hi there Larry.

Welcome to the wonderful world of automated context-sensitive advertisements. Most of us over at NeoGAF are pretty liberal, and I've for example donated significantly to the Obama campaign, so I would suggest that there's no hidden agenda at work. Ads supporting both Obama and McCain run on the site (including negative attack ads against McCain as well), and i can't say I'm uncomfortable with it, since that's just the nature of politics. I also don't see anything at all racially offensive or otherwise outside the norm for a political ad in the one you linked, or I would definitely remove it. But hey, maybe I'm just grossly incompetent, right?

~Tyler

Tyler,

Thanks for supporting Obama and I hope you continue to do so.

But I'll stand by my original point.

Later,

Larry Madill

Well, that was boring. Not even worth making a thread.

 

[Amir0x]

He'll stand by his original point?

THAT HE WAS WRONG ABOUT?

What a poser

 

[GhaleonEB]

Yeah, that was unexciting. Nice flippant response from him. "I'm completely wrong, but stand by my point."

Obama has gone up with his first response ad of the cycle, countering the RNC ad on energy. I features footage of Bush and McCain hugging and kissing. :lol

What... mad boring!

The guy types up a 5000 word essay and all he has to say is "Oh neato! Bye!" ?!?!

:lol

 

[Gaborn]

He... thinks... GAF is anti-Obama? I mean, GAF? truly, we have found a portal to a new dimension.

 

[StoOgE]

I emailed the Daily Kos guy:









Well, that was boring. Not even worth making a thread.

Netroots will be in Austin next week.. do you want me to get Markos with a pie or anything. I could shout "BELIEVE" and then run or something.

 

[Hellsing321]

Laaaame! I wanted blood.

 

[Boogie]

and that is why bloggers are the scum of the earth.

 

[bob_arctor]

I like Maddow.

I think shes hot.

Hmm. Thought I was the only one. She's cleaned up a lot since getting more exposure that's for damn sure. Her eyes do it for me.

BREAKING NEWS:

Larry Madill, co-writer of the critically acclaimed POKER RUN, has several scripts up for analysis. An excerpt from his surefire hit NOWHERE GIRL:

GRAHAM
My name is Harold Graham. I'm a
businessman from Utah.

Graham extends his hand across Vaughn's desk. Vaughn grabs
it suspiciously.

VAUGHN
My name is Vaughn Johnson. I'm a
private detective from Los Angeles.
The office is still closed.

Vaughn grabs his own coat from a nearby coat rack and makes
like he is going to leave.

GRAHAM
They warned me you were a hard on.

VAUGHN
Who might 'They' be?

GRAHAM
The people who recommended you to
me.

VAUGHN
Well, they were right. Even though I
don't know them either. The office
is closed. Come back tomorrow. I've
got a new secretary and you can
pretend not to stare at her legs for
an hour.

WINNER.
