Also, voicing an opinion on something you support, even if it is just a product and now say, "curing AIDS" is still alright. I've been thinking recently about how advertising in general has gotten so out of control that people seem to be a bit desensitized to it. This of course means that the ad makers have to "try harder" to make outrageous BS that in the end works less than the previous methods. There's too many scammy ads floating around, ie those lame phrama commercials. You know that stop smoking drug they are pushing now basically makes people go completely psychotic? Not that they'd put that in the ad. Anyway, rambling.... PS Godaddy's ads are extremely stupid and make me actually wish I had an alternative domain host to use for the price (Godaddy is in fact a good company and a good value, their ads are HORRIBLE though.)
