Achmed

[financeguy]

Is anyone else getting this advert at the top of the site for a cellphone ringtone??

"Meet Achmed. Silence!! I kill you!"

Glomobi: home

It's quite disturbing.

Can it be removed please?

I've had that for MONTHS it's annoying the f out of me since that sketch is years old.
If you don't know what it's about you'll probably find it even more disturbing, it's a sketch by Jeff Dunham with a puppet named Achmed.

I believe Andy had told me that we don't really have much control over which ads pop up as they are rotating.

 

[financeguy]

It's gone now. Whew.

 

[financeguy]

AAAGh it's back

lol.. which thread/forum is it in? I think sometimes it changes according to what's being talked about on the boards...

It appears here, for once, and like, most forums I get in ><

It's at the top of this thread now, but it wasn't earlier.

I'd love to know what's triggering this ad I keep seeing in FYM inviting us to join a message board for bed-wetters.

Haven't seen this Achmed thing, though I do see an ad for ringtones by the 'comedian' who created Achmed at the top of this thread right now.

I thought I would post it in here instead of a new thread:

At work I don't have an adblocker and I just recently paid for the silver membership so I can't disable ads.
Unfortunately I keep getting some halloween themed ad with an annoying sound quite often, and having sound not always turned off it's all the more annoying. So is there a way to at least filter ads that make sounds?

 

[Sicy]

I will ask them to look into that.

 

[Vincent Vega]

Thank you. Pretty embarrassing when some crazy sounds come out of the comp... ah mac.

In the meantime, it could possibly be spyware. Try running adaware or another malware/spyware program.

Hm, it is one of the big banners which appear on the top of the page, like the Achmed ad complained about before. And only on this page.
I don't have any administrative access on the macs, though.
