Nope,I for one,never click on those type of ads or anything else. You
never know when it could be a scam,or even a hoax in order to
trick you into clicking it and when you do. Your computer becomes
infected with either viruses,spyware or adware.

But those ads don't have anything to do with SO,They just pop up
every now and then and of course if you click on one of them.You
will leave this website,You won't stay in the same place.

NO. OMG. I was just on a little rant about that in another thread. His face is so cocky and the HELLO drives me absolutely up the freakin WALL. lmao

it isn't this site that gives those offers, they're automated links to other sites that try to trick you into buying stuff from them.

Internet ads shouldn't talk.

There is a way to keep that from occurring isn't there? I thought I seen an option on my internet options to block the sounds from websites or pop-ups, something like that.

I always have my pop-up blocker on, but some still get thru - especially on this site it seems. Hell, I guess I should click on them - just in the past 2 days it said I had won (no joke!) because I was the 10,000th visitor (I would think there's been a LOT more than that on here) and then I won again the next day because I was the 999,999,999th visitor!!! Woohoo - boy, there sure were a lot of people on in a 24 hr period!!!
