Windowing it in Crome gets rid of the horrid borders. Little less eye gouging.

I will never understand the Beiber hate. Yes, I am not a fan of his music, and don't the hype, but he does a lot of charity, and he didn't murder my cat.. so i am fine with him as a human being... /shrug
Then you've obviously never worked at a Wal Mart where they blare his song "Baby" over the loudspeakers every damn day. I did that shit for two fucking years. NEVER AGAIN.

No, but i worked retail for over a decade and (part of the time in a toy store) heard a lot of crappy music... i just don't get the hate. I understand being annoyed by hearing the same songs day in and day out, but i learned to zone it out, and focus on other things.

Dude, didn't you hear? Vanilla Ice is back in fashion!

*swoons*
We clearly need some 20+ year old brain bleach over here!


On a side note, I always thought that Rick Astley and Vanilla Ice had sex, Rick Astley got pregnant with this whining, pre-pubescent mongoloid, hatched him during a full blood red moon and taught it the ways of crooning.

Just my two cents.

Ah. I never could zone it out. Even when supervisors were talking to me when that song came on I had to blare it out somehow with my own much better music(yay Daft Punk!). They were rarely amused. surprisingly I didn't get fired for it though.

So do you non-pub-club members see adds on the background like this often? If so I feel sorry for you.

Apparently, he was told to stop, collaborate and listen.

That does look annoying as hell, but nothing compared to the shit your pants moment when a demon woman asks you to repeat the date of the premiere of the newest series of black mirror for the captcha.

I was pleased to hear about it, probably the best news I've had all day, but still...that picture freaks me the hell out.

Not sure I give that much a shit about Bieber to be honest. Call me a snooty hipster for trying to be different, but I think it is kind of tedious how everyone keeps getting themselves worked up over the sight of a fairly bog standard (that is to say, untalented and insipid) child singer. Some things are just fashionable to declare an enduring hated of - like comic sans or greengrocer's apostrophe's.

Little known fact: If you complain enough about a preticular ad/ad compaign. The Escapist will eventually take it down.
I remember back when that one Kinect horror game came out, there were ads with skantly-plad zombie nurses on either side of the screen. I started a thread about how gross it was and it was changed in about an hour.

I just chaulked this one up as the Escapist ad department accidentally press the big red button.

This reminds me of the slim jim dare sticks ads that ran on EVERY video for about 3 months. THose were the most annoying things ever. But when I stare into justin Bieber's eyes, they, they look so lifeless, like he's a mannequin.

It's because the Escapist operates like most video game publishers. IE with complete disregard for their audience.

For some reason I'm not getting that weird border thing...so "Nah nah nah-na-nah"

Then again, I'm still dealing with the Elder Scrolls ads with a hit window bigger than it seems...:(

What are advertisers thinking? "Internet gaming culture website? Let's advertise these shoes that don't appeal to this demographic at all... and put a blinding boarder around it."

I was too. Actually, I didn't realize who the dude in the ad was at first. I assumed Beiber had too much self-respect to let himself be photographed making such a douchebag expression.
That's not just an ad thing either. A friend of mine won a meet and greet for him when he came to town, and this was the photo they took:

I don't necessarily hate him. Like I said it's mostly the garrish green border that hurts my eyes. But also...whoever approved that ad for this site knows jack all about 'market research' and 'target demographics'. Because this isn't the target demographic for that ad. At all.

They don't usually make me feel like my eyes are going to fall out of my head. And are generally gaming related.
