In case you can't read the small white typeface, it is an ad for White Castle cheeseburgers.
As the little note near the bottom of the ad says, "SparkPeople Sponsors help keep the site free!" I understand that websites often rely upon advertising to stay afloat. But to promote fast food cheeseburgers on a fitness and nutrition site? Really.
that is messed up. I hate when I am running on the treadmill at the gym and an ad for McDonald's comes on. What a tease. But it makes me run faster.
ReplyDeleteI should channel that disgust into something more productive like you, 'cuz all I did was give the screen a bunch of middle fingers.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty stupid. And annoying. When I was on WW, their online site would have adds for food on the top all the time. Like closeups of cupcakes and stuff. UGH!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome! Great progress!!
I hate how diet sites have all these paid ads for food popping up in our faces while we log that we indulged in celery. COME ON!
I feel a protest letter coming on...
ReplyDeleteI also notice there are a lot of adverts for things like Hydroxy Cut and other dangerous ways to "lose weight fast" in reputable health magazines. We look towards those magazines as ways to encourage and guide us towards our goals of weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. Shame on magazines who accept advertisement money from the very companies who seek to destroy our health.
ReplyDeleteYIKES! Now that's crazy!
