WTF - Livestrong Ads on PC?

Alright, who sold out?

Though I must admit, whoever sold it must be brilliant, taking more of the overhead costs from Livestrong and bringing ads selling yellow wristbands to people who got the message 5 years ago. 

What's next those stupid FRS ads? 

Disclaimer - I went by the FRS booth at interbike and they have the most delish bluberry nugget thingys - they tasted so good - 20 calories each for a sustained energy boost. Moist and juicy they were - I needed 75 words - but I am still boycotting them.

Ads

are sold by SBN, with the exception of the ones in the left sidebar. So I have no control over them, though obviously I’m as pleased as SBN is that people are interested in advertising with us. Particularly where an ad targets the Podium Cafe among the SBN sites.

If you delete all of the tracking cookies in your browser

the FRS ads will go away on other sites. As soon as you return to any cycling related site they will return.

For the record, I am absolutely, 100%, completely, and without

question on board with Chris taking Lance’s money.

(Preferably all of it.)

Chris will be distributing the money amongst the masses

as soon as the PdC Corporate Officers are reimbursed.

Sincerely,

Drew Davis
Corporate Officer #2

Me too. Go PdC! Now that I think of it,

should we be clicking those ads more often? or is viewing them enough to bring in the mad cash?

Yeah, keep clicking on the Livestrong ads

With people like us are just wasting Livestrong’s online ad spend it’s no wonder the LAF is the worst performing charity in the history of the ever ever and so deep in deficit it’s practically bankrupt.

Advertising can make strange bedfellows

Among the sponsors on Ivan Basso’s website: Garmin.

Unfortunately

I often get in french horrible 1990’s style flashing ads that say I have just won something

if I am slow responding to anyone it is because I am on the floor having a seizure
