Google Says Ad Blockers Will Save Online Ads
azoblue writes "Google — the world's largest online ad broker — sees no reason to worry about the addition of ad-blocking extensions to its Chrome browser. Online advertisers will ensure their ads aren't too annoying, the company says, and netizens will ultimately realize that online advertising is a good thing."
If it wasn't for advertising in banner ads, I would never have known of the existence of such things as my binary alarm clock, or my "Teach the Controversy" T-shirts. Both purchasing decisions based purely on advertising.
If you're dumb enough to believe that "Intelligent Design" is in any way scientific, then it makes perfect sense that you're the type of person who's gullible enough to buy things solely based on advertiser claims without any verification.
