WTF?

Ok fair do's this site obviously needs some form of income to keep it going so selling advertising space is a good idea. But McDonalds?! :shock:

  • If they want to waste their money advertising to the antithesis of their target market, it's their problem. I don't look at the ads anyway.

    Who cares? I wouldn't have noticed had my aggregate not sent this thread to me. Ads mean zip to me, but to some, it's a daily hurdle. Get a life.

    Find something worth going to the forum to tell everyone about, like your new born daughter, or.........yeah right.

    PS. FYI, that's "AD," as in advertisement, not "ADD" as in 'add this to the mundane and pedantic threads on Bike Radar."

    They pay their money, they get an advert. that's how it works. so what? you don't have to buy their product. at any rate most advertising is syndicated so the sites have little or no specific knowledge of what gets promoted... and as a result you often see horribly misplaced advertisements on news sites.

    thanks, Jimmy. Good to know you're there for me. I've seen a few on here that make me feel the same way.

    One more thing, do I mop up spilled milk with a blue or yellow towel, or are both wrong?

    Why, yes, thank you 'we' are well liked by all, just not in Britain. Not too hung up on that one.

    Suggestion to all schizophrenics now that valentine's day approaches.

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    I'm a schizophrenic
    And so am I

    Bikers46 is not a schizophrenic. It's a software project which responds to all posts exclusively with statements that conform to the worst stereotypes of American speech idiom. It could qualify as artificial intelligence but only if it evolves some.

    I still need to know what socks to wear while mud riding.

    At least we had the balls to kick the brits out of our lives 'back then.' You guys, as well, are all the same. Piss and moan about cars, busses, people walking on 'your' trails, people walking their dogs, etc. Damn, wake up, you're not the only people on the planet. Where do you ever find something decent to say about anyone, ever? You just whine about everything, constantly.

    Get me the fack out of here.

    The software seems to have developed a fault. The microchip on its shoulder has destabilised it.

    Pity, but it looks like someone's fourth grade IT project is going belly up.

    You probably don't realise this but British people celebrate independance day more enthusiastically than the yanks.

    Hypocrisy is only a bad thing in other people.

    Whinging, Bikers 46?

    Just look around the forums and watch your brethren squeal:-

    "AWW, GAAAASSS IS 4 BUCKS A GALLON, AHM GONNA JUST HAVE TO BUY A COMPACT TO GO WITH MAH HUMMER."

    An American accusing others of not being the only people on the planet. Now that's rich!
