Political Ads be gone

  Elections are quite a ways off yet, and I'm so tired of all the negative ads.

  Logging on to WGT is a small respite away from it all....until now.

  I won't be playing at all until the elections are over, or until WGT ceases to play political ads.

  Are you kidding me?  Political ads?  BLAH!!!

  Wish I had an ad blocker...

  Ads come up when the flash player is opened

  No elections here, no political ads.

  Why not move over to Europe?

  I wish we were smart enough to have your immigration policies here.........We just let them in and reward them with free money and health care for life and they do not even have to become a citizen or work. So much for the rule of law.Thanks O,

  Also, the adverts are 80% designed for the particular user, based on previous browsing sessions that have been done viewed that computer. Not a space sold by WGT to an individual advertiser.

  For instance I was looking for a new anti-virus a while back, for 3 weeks I had bit-defender adverts popping up on WGT after having visited their website.

  I think it depends which advertisers employ a particular advertising company, and which advertising company purchases space on WGT. If you have browsed something in line of an advertiser on their list, you might see their product or service on WGT while someone else will see something of a different nature.

  If that makes sense.

  Mmmmmmm....... sounds alarmingly familiar. Immigaration policies ? I don't think we've tried any of those for a very long time, over here.

  A couple months until the Election? I wish it were quite a ways off, sad to say they are getting close. Get ready to see ad's where ever you look for the next couple months.

  I never browsed a site regarding my prostrate, but I feel I have known that doctor all my life. Funny he only comes up on CTTH games.
