100% Pure Hoodia

Does anyone here, like me get the inclination to smash their screen in every time they visit TV Forum only to find that annoying (and not especially attractive) blonde bird grinning inanely promoting 100% Hoodia at the top of the screen ?

She's been there for months, if not years. Aren't Google Ads supposed to be targeted in some way to the content of the website ? Are TVF users being branded as obese couch slobs who spend all day watching TV and in need of a good course of slimming tablets ?

Who ever heard of Hoodia anyway ?

What web adverts? All I see is a sea of blue and white when I visit TVF.

No, but that'll be because Firefox plus the Adblock add-on makes for a happy chappy :)

During the Baby Ballroom thread bitchfight, the banner started advertising 'TheNaughtySeat.co.uk'.

Mercifully it didn't say "Pushy Parenting - Low prices on eBay!"

I used to fancy the pants off her during my formative years!

I know what you mean, in her Broom Cupboard days. The Tomorrow's World era, though, put me off her - she became rather clinical and Leslie Ash-ish.

Rumour has it: bit of a bitch off-camera! Not like that lovely sophie raworth.
