Banner ads for "Ted's Woodworking" on the front page of LJs. Say it ain't so!!!

Wow….speechless…

-- Measure "at least" twice and cut once

Man is that BS!

Even though ads are generated that way there has go to be some way of blocking these I would hope.

Can we start a “Let’s Kill Ted” campaign?

Randomly generated or not, there’s gotta be some kind of standards. “Ted’s Woodworking” is a legit advertiser like North Korea is a beacon of economic prosperity, free speech, and human rights.

Well I have adblock installed on chrome for youtube video purposes, so I have yet to see this guy around here. Funny how common the stock image of him is, I saw it on the CPO JET site for the live customer chat service. Made me crack up.

The easiest way to get “Ted” to stop advertizing here is by hitting him in the pocketbook. I believe those are pay per click ads, so he pays anywhere from .10 to 1.50 per click.

The ideas is click the hell out of his ads so when he gets his advertizing bill and compares it to his sales, he’ll get the message.

-- ok, is it cut once measure twice, cut twice measure once???? I know....I'll just keep cutting until it's long enough.

WFT? The banner ads are based on browsing hx but there should still be some content control by LJ’s to keep crap like this from popping up.

thanks for the posting. We can’t fix what we aren’t aware of .
I’m looking into it.

I hit refresh many times trying to recreate this ad but never produced.

Blocking the ads is just masking the problem which is great but I’d truly like to see Ted’s woodworking go away completely.

I like bladedust’s idea, click and charge Ted. I’ve got grandchildren that would love nothing more than sitting at the computer and clicking this over and over. Got to get them set up on this, it will keep them busy for hours.
Thanks for the idea.

Even if bladedust’s tactic works everyday some poor soul buys into his scheme or scam allowing him to afford the ads he post but if it works then great.
