Please Stop The Chattering Teeth.

deeply annoying ad.pngWhoever is running these chattering teeth ads, cursing the Internet to another round of Punch The Monkey crap creative and all the consequences therein, STOP IT.  

But it’s really all our fault, isn’t it? Premium sites run remnant ad networks, and crap like this gets through faster than we can beat it back. We really do need some kind of crowdsourced feedback system so ads as annoying as this one get beat down, quickly, and never show up again, except to those who really want to see them. Who, I imagine, are the same folks who buy Chia pets late at night off infomercial programming.

Oh, wait, there is a feedback button here! But clearly, it’s not being used! Why? Because it requires you fill out a multiple choice, ten question form! Which I did, but then returned an error message. That’s doubly annoying – I took the time to inform CBS that this ad sucked, and my time was wasted. ARGH!!!!

Hey CBS (and all of us – including FM, which has run this ad due to our relationship with ad networks) these ads SUCK. Stop it!!!!
