    I truly do not understand this one and hopefully some of you great but unpaid WGT researchers can help me once again.

    Background:

    I clicked on a multi-player 'stroke' game. We moved to the next page where the CC ads play as the game loads. 

    Suddenly I am watching and hearing a loud blaring ad starring Jamie Lee Curtis (i liked her much better in "True Lies") extol the benefits of a bowel movement product.

    This was so interesting and entertaining that I asked the other players if they enjoyed this as much as I did.

    Much to my dismay, everyone else stated that they had NOT been forced to sit through this loud and annoying commercial.Hmmmmmm!

    Questions;

    Is "Big Brother" watching 'only' me?

    Why wasn't EVERYONE forced to watch this bowel movement commercial?

    How did they know just me needed that information? HOW???

    This site is scaring me more every day.

    I need answers quick.

    Thanks

    LOL.........you need to download spybot search and destroy right now,    if you dont, they will take over everything, they may even take over your golfer and wreck your scoring average.

    btw, check out  my HIO at celtic manor today.    Uh huh.

    Thanks Kurtsbuford for your reply and suggestions. I will check that immediately but before I do maybe you can clear up one more question.

    What does HIO mean?

    Thanks,

    ad's are like big brother actually... they are done via google and their logic engine, so usually you get ad's for what you been searching for...

    i usually get ad's for kitchen knives, steaks, tv's.. right now skycaddie cause I was looking for one.

    so, each person's ad's are customized, but it's done automatically... this is a guess but from what I understand, most websites use google adsense, so anything you search there gets crosslinked to other sites you visit using adsense.. and so on.

    Hello wgticon and thanks for your reply,

    No doubt you are much more knowledgeable in computer use than I am and I'm sure you know what you are talking about.

    However,  in this instance you might think about getting a new information source. I have never inquired about any 'bowel movement' product and maybe "google adsense" should be changed to "google nonsense .

    Also along these lines;

    I have never inquired about 98% of the commercials I'm forced to watch and I doubt most other players have done so. 

    You have bought up another question and it is;

    If WGT isn't part of this commercial deal, then how can it suddenly 'pop-up'  only on my screen? According to your summary above, while I was engrossed in watching Jamie Lee then the other 3 players were also watching their favorite commercial's!

     If so, I wonder why they didn't mention they were enjoying their own commercial?

    Thanks
