	Yeah... I just saw this on the beloved Escapist. Really... did I really? Do you just use a company to display adverts for you guys. I mean a few weeks ago you had porn adverts on the escapist... now you have virus Ads... nice job... Please get another company to do you're adverts if you can find one offering the same price if they have a better reputation... please have a look at least. Do you think the Escapist needs a bit of Quality control? ... Not funny enough? Here is a related YouTube clip:

	Pub Club Master Race! Assemble! Consider it as the escapist doing a little internet Darwinism :D 'I've won an iPhone! Wow, I must click this not at all dodgy looking link, only good things can come from th-ajhaGSHbdajdbhayuhdgjHDIHABDODNHAIHBGFJNJDFSDFBHDSABUV!!!!!1111ONEONEELVEN'

	Inb4 Pub Club. OT: I haven't seen these ads yet, I'm just getting video ads. Plus, anyone who's not stupid won't click those ads anyway. As for if they need quality control on ads, nah. At least not on the British side of things. Dammit, Daystar. XD

	It's a good thing that I only get ads for stuff that is on the site or site related. Like this one But I think the Tech team is open for those kinds of suggestions and complaints, you should probably report that to them.

I don't think it means what you think it means. That is a normal banner. Yes, it looks like a popup but it is nothing more than a banner, same as each one that goes at that exact space.

	Hey, I actually won an iphone, stop complaining. If you don't like it, you can always raise it up with the person they registered with. But this website needs to make money somehow.

If it's hiding something then as far as I am concerned it may as well be a site filled with virus' The severe majority will avoid. For morons for whom the Internet is something above their mental understanding this this is a bit of natural selection. For those who's mouse slips it could be a deadly mistake for their PC. The escapist shouldn't lower itself by allowing ads attracting attention through trickery rather than the quality of ad or product.

And the avatar thing.. I guess I'd have to get someone to make a TDKR Bane gif for me... The discounts on comics and memorabilia don't really concern me though But there's some cool clothes there, and I like my theme clothes.. Oh yes I do.
