My gawd, how I truly hate and loathe ads on film blogs and web sites!!!
Hate, hate, despise, despise, and loathe to the point of (almost) foaming at the mouth in rabid anger!!! .\_/.
No, I'm not talking about ads that a blog author or web host puts there in order for his readers to be able to locate some of the rare films he just reviewed. No, I'm talking about the motherfucken weight loss ads, the car ads, the bloody mobile phone ads, the what-have-you ads, and not least the shit-for-brains ring-tone ads!!! Have a look at the front of this otherwise pretty cool horror film site BRUTAL AS HELL: The top front logo picture is awesome and I would truly love it if it weren't for the honest to god awful ads (which are probably different depending on your own location as mine has a Danish language camera ad on it).
For fuck's sake! I actually wrote to the guy who owns the site and said something to the effect of Get rid of those ads or I'll kill you and your family and your family's friends and their neighbours - and burn your house down too ... but you know how that goes, so yes the ads are gonna stay. I just don't get it. @_@
By the way, Brutal As Hell is an offspring of the old JOE HORROR horror review site (+ forum) which later became WILDSIDE CINEMA, and then changed its name to HUMAN PORK CHOPS, and now has returned to using WILDSIDE CINEMA site (+ forum). At least Wildside Cinema doesn't have stupid ads so that's great (and the fact that they've got a link to this here blog makes them the better site anyway, haha).

ReplyDeleteAhh, thanks, Zoink!
ReplyDeleteI actually added the ad block to my Firefox about a week ago but had forgotten all about it. But even though I personally can get rid of the ads it still annoys me greatly that they include them.
Jack, you bastard! lol Brutal as Hell has gotta eat too!
ReplyDeleteHaha, as far as I know they've all got day jobs so that shouldn't be a problem. xD.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for the links!
How could I NOT link ya? Now you owe me.
ReplyDelete*waits for reviews from Jack*
BTW, Human Pork Chops was just the name of the forum! Don't confuse people more than they already are!
ReplyDelete*prepares to change forum name to GORE GEEKS ANONYMOUS*
I know you've got us linked, you're one of the good guys! I can't tell you how many of these asshole horror sites ask for links and never return the favor. It's dog-eat-dog in the horror review community.
ReplyDeleteReally? Not being a site owner/writer but a blogger (and a lazy one I might add) who flies under the radar I never really experience any of that.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do know there's a staggeringly huge amount of horror sites out there and some of them aren't worth the cyber paper they're written on. Pretty to look at but... well.
Yeah I've got no respect for sites like Dread Central, Bloody-Disgusting and Ain't It Cool News. They benefit from lies. I'm a horror fan, first and foremost, and I despise these sites that stroke companies and filmmakers for DVD cover quotes.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I get these little sites, that I assume are worth supporting, hitting me up all the time. Unfortunately a quick twice-over of their reviews and forums spoils that quickly. They're either complete bandwagon riders or close-minded knuckle-draggers.
I normally don't like people just because, if they don't share my tastes, they don't get my space.
Dammit! I just noticed I wrote:
ReplyDelete"Reviews? Hmmmm. So Jin will have some more to muck?!"
It SHOULD have been MOCK, not muck!! Hahahaha. Sorry, Jin.
