- tehhowch, on 07/07/2008, -20/+482Please, no more image/ad combinations. They seem hilarious, but are not, because we all know exactly why they occur.
- CLShortFuse, on 07/06/2008, -7/+202Oddly enough, it's there when I visited the link (though I had to disable Adblock)
http://www.wanderings.net/notebook/Main/10ReasonsW ... - AlexBellisBrown, on 07/07/2008, -8/+185I like de wine, i like de spirits, and i like de beer.
- Jashro, on 07/08/2008, -2/+151Then what good is MSPaint?
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -17/+148expensive jewelry is for dumbasses
- batmanz, on 07/08/2008, -12/+109I can get AIDS off a diamond ring?!?!
- changyang1230, on 07/08/2008, -5/+74De Beers - the enemy of every man in the world.
- tankintheair315, on 07/08/2008, -2/+70adsense sees diamonds, gives you a diamond add
- APErebus, on 07/08/2008, -11/+76Just how did this end up on the front page?
Old joke and it's really not funny anymore.
Considering the number of times De Beers was mentioned in the page, no wonder Google chucked the ad up. - temporaryescape, on 07/08/2008, -10/+63i guarantee your girlfriend would see this and say.... so?
- mphree, on 07/08/2008, -2/+51My name is Jared. I effing hate that company. Every time I fix a computer, I have the dumbass customer saying "We went to Jared!" and "Thaaaaaat's Jared!" God... I hate it.
- Jpardue, on 07/08/2008, -3/+45He went to Jared...
- ReidFleming, on 07/07/2008, -2/+43I'm sure pattern/word matching algorithms mostly work out in the company's favor. I wonder if some companies put anything in their contracts about what should happen when the page contains negative stories about them.
- wunderwood, on 07/08/2008, -0/+39Let's all click on the add and give google a little of de beers money.
- Hazardc, on 07/08/2008, -5/+43It is amazing to me that the entire world still revolves around shiny pieces of metal and rocks when it all comes down to it.
we are still ***** cave dwellers. - Namco, on 07/08/2008, -1/+36Dumbasses are forever
- fearlessfx, on 07/08/2008, -1/+34I like de play on words
- lilbugleboy09, on 07/07/2008, -2/+34Haven't we been through this before?
- matroska1, on 07/08/2008, -0/+28I do feel for you, that's a bad draw man =/ That ad campaign plus Jared Fogel - Subway douchebag.. Hard times for the Jareds
- JKAL, on 07/08/2008, -1/+27you wasted your own time by replying, fail.
- desertDenizen, on 07/08/2008, -0/+25I hate a particularly evil ad of theirs: A guy yells out "I love this woman" and the woman looks around hoping nobody saw him. Then he says something like, "well then, how about this?" and pulls out diamond jewelry. She hugs him and whispers, "I love this man. I love this man."
It's ***** evil. Think about the message... 1. You're a freak if you try to show your love for a woman by doing anything non-traditional. 2. The woman will reject you. 3. If you give her a diamond, then she will love you.
Evil. I hate them. So does my future bride; we're recycling her grandmother's eternity ring, and putting the saved $5-8K into the house downpayment fund. IMO, any cool, secure woman would choose this. (Oops, there I go, that was sure to offend... go ahead and digg me down.)
***** DE BEERS. - Namco, on 07/08/2008, -1/+26No, but the whore you patronize after a long evening of mining diamonds will.
- calebhawk, on 07/08/2008, -2/+2611. they are ***** expensive
- KaJuN4, on 07/08/2008, -2/+25But do you like da Bears?
- jrbrewin, on 07/08/2008, -4/+24couldn't have guessed that the first comment would be something snarky about adblock. ¬_¬
- inactive, on 07/08/2008, -2/+21Not really. My GF basically said "Yeah, I know that diamond mining is bad for the environment/funds civil wars/slavery but everyone is going to ask to see the ring"
I guess it's a way to pawn off the responsibility on everyone else. "It's not for me it's so everyone I know doesn't think you're a worthless scumbag." - Culyt, on 07/08/2008, -0/+20I think the fact that you can grow diamonds now, cheap, is enough to stay away from them. Who cares if your diamond came out of the ground or a pressurised tank, you can't tell the difference, professional jewellers can't either.
I don't understand why the market places hasn't already been flooded with grown diamonds yet.
☢ - sodade, on 07/08/2008, -0/+16Yeah well, my wife and I have matching titanium bands. They cost like $250 for the pair. I could have easily bought her a "big rock" just as I could easily buy a Hummer, but I didn't because I am not a douchebag who equivocates money with love or coolness.
- rabidbob, on 07/08/2008, -2/+18I don't ***** a cave dweller.
- crownedgriffin, on 07/08/2008, -0/+16My name is Jared as well. The jewellery company doesn't cause me too much trouble, but I hate that Subway guy. His mouth is freakishly large.
- inactive, on 07/08/2008, -2/+18hey, my fleet of segways is awesome.
- crazycracker911, on 07/08/2008, -1/+13"DIAMONDS". "That will shut her up".... first thing I thought of
- oriyn142, on 07/08/2008, -1/+13I think all adds are unfortunately placed.
- rabidbob, on 07/08/2008, -0/+12Well you'd think that it wouldn't be too hard to add:
if (([company name] && ("HIV" || "AIDS"))
// write url to tblCounterPropaganda - f4nt0m4s, on 07/08/2008, -2/+12de batteries
- Sunnygurm, on 07/08/2008, -1/+11"Why don't you just go by Jay instead of Jared?"
"No, why should I change my name, he's the one who sucks" - lordrahl, on 07/08/2008, -1/+11Does anyone else HATE it when someone goes into paint and writes a big arrow and then some useless, generally obnoxious info over whatever we were supposed to be looking at?
I mean come on... I think we can read the article and then see the de beers add with out the GIANT arrow and WTF scrawled across the screen.
maybe its just me... idk - inactive, on 07/08/2008, -3/+13Not just aids... Super AIDS
- smacksaw, on 07/08/2008, -2/+12He's Batman.
- EvilJelloMan, on 07/08/2008, -1/+10There WAS nothing wrong with that name, until that no-talent assclown became famous and started selling jewelry.
- MenoUnderwater, on 07/08/2008, -2/+11He went to Jared!
- apextek, on 07/08/2008, -1/+10the guys who grow them are doing it in relative secrecy while they grow their business, (pun not intended) so that they are a strong enough business that debeers cant shut them down, and/or dont send hits out on them for ruining the diamond mining business.
Diamonds are plentiful in nature, but the are made scares on purpose by the industry to drive up prices.
Now that I think of it maybe they've been talk with the oil industry...... - inactive, on 07/08/2008, -1/+10It's even more hilarious because we know why they occur. It's not some random coincidence. Maybe they'd be better off to work on some adsense code that can heuristically determine whether the page is against whatever item and offer an ad for an alternative.
- SuperMoses, on 07/08/2008, -0/+912. They are useless rocks.
- TnTBass, on 07/08/2008, -0/+9Illuminati want it that way.
- Augie1969, on 07/08/2008, -2/+11Actually, after many discussions on the topic prior to our engagement, my fiancee and I decided on an emerald. They are more rare/valuable, and will actually hold worth if or when DeBeers ever tanks.
A diamond is actually NOT forever. This company's marketing, however, is masterful.
BTW, there are a couple of small diamonds on her emerald ring. They are a good looking and tough stone, just not really worth *****. - gigitrix, on 07/08/2008, -0/+8surely the blogger deserves it? Its all true...
- phibit, on 07/08/2008, -1/+9Toying with an idea? Wow, now THAT's commitment. I toyed with the idea of stapling myself to my girlfriend's front porch, but it didn't work out.
- jman82s, on 07/08/2008, -3/+11He went to Jared?
