Is it that free screensavers one or that neon geen flashing one that gives you an epileptic fit. Is it the dating site one? Or do you find the "Hit the Leprechaun" one offensive.
Im Irish, is that what they think of the Irish? Leprechauns and Lucky charms. I know this is how myLot funds themselves and advertising is good.
So is there any ad on myLot thats really bugs you?
What ad do you hate on mylot and why so?
Please discuss.
And please remember to have fun and not to take the topic too seriously.

I think the adds vary according to the country you are in. There is a real irritating one here in Germany that tells me I am the 999,999th visitor and have won a prize. Today they modified it and told me I was the first visitor from Germany and had won a prize. Since the advert is in German I find that unlikely! They must think we are all idiots. I have not seen any of the adverts related to in the other comments.

I think I must be completely immune to adverts, because I really hadn't noticed them until you pointed it out. I have noticed the ones that go accross the top - I think they are mainly e-bay, but they are not annoying.

I was worried about that too! But I've not noticed any since I responded, which must have been about 20 minutes ago, so I think it is a permanent immunity.

The weight loss one with the fat belly hanging out. I am so tired of looking at the fat belly. Not that I have anything against people who are not thin, but I just don't need to see somebody's belly every few seconds I am on the computer. It just becomes a little annoying after a while.

haha I don't like those ones either. The ones I hate the most are the talking ones, like the "Congratulations, you have just won a free Wii..." etc. etc. They bug me so much that I have to turn off my sound or evade the whole web page itself. They really suck. I know of at least two of them, the one with the woman speaking, and then the man. Some days I can almost get away without hearing them, but no matter what they pop up haha. I do not mind the silent ones so much, I do not pay much attention to them.

The flat stomach one is starting to get on my nerves. It seems to pop up every single time and I don't like the pictures on it. It's a little nasty.
