Talking Advertisements on Apolyton

[Shi Huangdi]

For your consideration

Recently it seems a new banner ad has started on Poly.for "SitePal" with the text "Dynamic talking characters for your website". It plays the audio whenever the banner loads "What would you like me to say? I can say anything you want."

In addition to being extremely obnoxious, I don't think most poly posters would want these ads creating voice on the computer when they are at work, or when it is late and others are trying to sleep.

While we're complaining about ads, there's one from Amazon that just might induce seizures.

I hate talking ads. They scare me :). Normally I have the sound off unless I'm playing a game, but occasionally I browse poly after playing a game and don't turn the sound off.

It always catches me unexpected.
