I can't deal with that Condi Slobber Thing every time I check DU Forums.
Edited on Wed Sep-21-05 06:51 PM by KoKo01
if this "Romantic Match" Advertising site allows you and I to stay here and Post...and take advantage of all DU is offering...well...I still don't know if it's worth it.

How much money needs to be given to DU that we don't have to keep viewing that disgusting "Slobber Fest" between the "Vampire Queen" and the "Idiot-in-Theif?"

Before that...it was anti Female T-Shirts we had to deal with...

HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED IN DONATIONS TO RUN THIS SITE SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO BE GROSSED OUT ALL THE TIME????????

1. PLEASE remove that picture!
Things are depressing enough without having to see THAT

3. I can actually smell her Georgio Perfume in that..sickening photo!
:puke: And, I'll bet he uses some crap after shave his British Tailor recommended to him. :puke: The smell alone would make us "allergic's" barf.

2. Christ yes.
I stay away from latest and forum listings and stay within GD and LBN to avoid it. Frankly, if I was single it would not do a thing to attract me as a customer---too repulsive.

4. Thanks for posting
That got old after the first half second. I'd rather see the dog on the roof from New Orleans again.

8. I know...every time I looked at that (and I did hit on the link) I cried
Edited on Wed Sep-21-05 07:12 PM by KoKo01
my eyes out for "Shooting Dogs" in NO's and everywhere after Katrina...but that was an appeal to our "better intincts" to DO SOMETHING... THIS Puke photo of CONDI VAMPIRE KISS really hits many of us below the belt. What can we Do ABOUT IT?

I'm not in the market for a new "Mate." It's DISGUSTING and takes away from the human tragedy that's out there...promoting some Date Match CRAP and having to look at the most DISGUSTING TWO FIGURES IN AMERICAN HISTORY. :puke: I JUST CAN'T STAND IT.

But..I realize I'm due for my DU Subscription donation. I guess we can't expect the DU Admins or Skinner who owns it to not need to succumb to stuff that offends us...when he isn't asking for $50.00 like that trash sheet NYT's is to allow us to read the THREE COLUMNISTS we actually like from their website.

Still... I would hope Skinner, et al could come up with a DONATION TO REMOVE CONDI SUCK UP so we don't have to keep seeing that PUKE!!!!!

How much money does it take to run DU so we don't have to see these CRAP /OFFENSIVE ADS. ?????

5. Just turn off graphics in your browser
Since you are a dialup user I would think you have them off already.

If you are using Mozilla, go to Edit>Preferences>Privacy & Security>Images and click Accept Images which come from the originating server only.

That will turn off all the blogad graphics on DU.

9. Thanks for your Tips as to avoiding "IT." But, I'm "Dial Up" and not as
"Tech Savy" as many of you. I have to see that damned ad constantly. Telling me to "turn off' my graphics and the rest...for a non-techie just doesn't address the main issue. WE SEE IT...and YOU SMART GUYS DONT?

Where is the FAIRNESS IN THIS?????

11. Sadly....Skinner, et al.. need to see over a THOUSAND POSTS on this
before they listen. With close to 80 thousand and growing posters the DU ADMINS must feel they are doing something correctly to get the traffic.

I think our PLEA to get rid of CONDI/Slobber/BUSH is "dead in the water."

We don't have enough clout or influence to make a difference here.

:shrug: It's what the MASSES SEE AND LIKE...THAT PREVAILS...:-( :cry:

30. Maybe if we wrote
to the company that is responsible for this OFFENSIVE AD we could all make a difference. All they would have to do is put a Positive face on their "Singles" ad instead of the "666" connotation.

I've seen several threads on this topic..all Hating it as much as you or I! :(

21. I clicked it and there's Condi kissing the Chimp...
:shrug: right on the right hand side. I don't get pop-ups and stuff from DU this is their regular ads.

I use Netscape Browser...with "pop-up" blocker.

18. If you agree...keep it kicked..it will take a thousand posts to get
attention. Sadly, a thousand posts on one thread would be "unheard of" in DU History...but if it offends you...keep kicking! :D...We all gotta defend against what we find offensive ...even if it's our own.

But, if anyone has a "broser way" of getting rid of that "THING" then please inform us so we don't just be the "Complainers." :shrug:

32. I emailed democraticmatch.com with kucinich marriage pic
and they replied to me. They wrote:

-----That is a great photo! Dennis is the candidate closest to our hearts here at DemocraticMatch.Com - we donate much of our profits to environmental groups and he is an environmental /political hero to us. We're sorry the ad is not popular on DU - honestly, we have run this exact ad on every other liberal blog - including Daily Kos, and have had nothing but compliments on it. It is a joke, and we make it clear with the "don't let this happen to you" line, that we don't like these idiots either. I will put the photo in the archive, and we may use it in our next ad. -----

I sent them this pic.

is funny but the picture is just so ugly and stomach turning. :puke:

36. WoW
All you have to do is use a different Browser such as FireFox or Opera and then simply right click and delete.

38. Not all of us want to go through that. I'm happy with Netscape....
So, I guess we who don't have FireFox or Opera will have to suffer on...:-)'s
