Trumper ads

He just scanned the top of this page and sees an ad touting "The Junior Biotech ETF - IBBJ"

 

He's never been asked to join "the forces of evil". 

 

Different strokes for different folks !

 


DonDiego might not understand that the forces of evil don't call themselves "the forces of evil"; that's bad marketing strategy.

 

One can tell if one is being solicited to join such forces if the pitch contains a bunch of flag-waving, an appeal to "patriotism," and a dire warning that them liberals is destroyin' our country and they wants to takes away our GUNZ.

I find the pop-up ads on this site annoying, but I suppose the LVA has to supplement its income these days.

 

However, I find the continual barrage of right-wing pro-Trump propaganda deeply offensive. You can't read a single page of the website without seeing an alt-right extremist ad. Of course, I realize that some of our customers might be titillated by those same ads and consider them to be a highlight of the LVA experience.

 

Someone is paying LVA for those ads--why did LVA sell space to alt-right extremist groups? Ads for casinos, or for drain cleaner for that matter, are one thing. Political crap is another.

 

I hasten to add that I would be just as offended by left-wing political ads. We should have places where we can get away from all that bullcrap, at least for a little while.


I just close ads, the majority of times not even noticing the topic of the ad.  My daughter used to come home from work complaining about work more than a person, in my opinion should. In an effort to get her out of this rut, I told her that if you look hard enough for something to be annoyed/pissed about you'll find it every time. After hearing this from me a few times it seems to have sunk in.
